The student’s purpose is to change preventive health care

Ramirez explained her career as a pursuing health through the prevention of the disease, but she admits that, as a graduate, she is still finding out how to turn her vision into reality. A senior study on biomedical engineering Universdad autonoma de nuevo leone (UANL), in Monterry, Mexico, he is the founder chair of his school IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) Student Branch. Research interests of the student member in neuroicing and artificial intelligence are shaping his vision for the future of health care.

“I have always been emotional about technology and health,” she says. “Biomedical engineering is giving me a way to combine these two worlds and work on solutions that make a real difference in people’s lives.”

Its growing effect in IEEE Together with his educational achievements is a promising, impressive career sign.

From chemistry to care

Ramirez was born Zacatecas, MexicoIs known for its silver mines, agriculture and strong cultural pride. From a young age, she loved science – especially chemistry – and concluded in schools designated for advanced learners.

His first performance for the health care sector came up during high school, when he trained as a nursing technician. His high school courses were organized as a co-up program, including traditional classes with internships in nursing. Ramirez did intern Hospital Universitero Dr. Jose Eleuterio Gonzalaz In Monteri, Mexico.

Alternatively between academic and professional tracks allowed him to graduate with a diploma and a technical degree at the same time. Talking about her early experiences, she says, “I saw how many patients struggled, not only with their conditions, but also with the logistics of demand and coordination,” she says. “It wanted me to work at the intersection of medical and innovation.”

With his father working as an accountant as a content engineer and his mother, he grew up in a house where technical problems-solution and analytical thinking was part of daily life.

She says that the mixture of effects strengthened her decision to pursue engineering as a career rather than a medical field.

Since starting his studies in UANL in 2021, Ramirez has focused on neuroicing, which provides school, is one of the three experts. He has discovered the role of artificial intelligence in diagnosis and treatment of conditions including Alzheimer’s disease, depression, epilepsy and schizophrenia.

Through the IEEE mentoring program, he was guided by global experts, including a doctor from India, who helped refine his early AI projects.

His work quickly developed from class assignments to real -world capacity projects.

“The project I am most excited about is not published, but it mainly involves using machine learning in the diagnosis of medical image processing (MRI) and neurodogenative diseases in machine learning,” she says.

This year he made his realm wider by participating in IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation In Atlanta, where he received contact for both industrial and educational applications of robotics.

“In Mexico, people usually don’t think about their health until they are already ill. I want to focus on using technology and education to keep people healthy.”

He is currently a trainee LagosA health care network in Latin America. She contributes to improving the patient’s experience in hospitals in Mexico, Colombia and Peru.

“I design projects aimed at improving the quality of care and making hospital intervention more effective for patients in various stages: prevention/welfare, diagnosis, hospitalization, rehabilitation, and post-discharged follow-ups,” they refused to provide specific examples, cited medical privacy agreements.

“My internship is not only about finding ways to make health care effective, but also more human,” she says. “This is about improvement in procedures, so patients feel care for this – they do not go until they enter the hospital.”

Finding leadership and purpose in IEEE

Ramirez established the IEEE EMBS Student Branch in 2023. As a chair, she represents the branch in the branch IEEE Region 9 Meetings, where she advocates mentarship opportunities and cooperation with other IEEE groups.

Through her participation, she says, she has not only gained technical knowledge, but has also attained significant soft skills in leadership, time management and teamwork.

“IEEE taught me how to lead with sympathy and how to work with people of different backgrounds, she says. “It has expanded my vision beyond Mexico, showing me the challenges and innovations all over the world.”

She says that she plans to obtain a master’s degree abroad – AI in public health or for medical equipment – and eventually a Ph.D. Its long -term goal is to start a business focused on developing health care innovations, especially in the prevention of the disease.

A future built on innovation

For Ramirez, improvement in health care means more than developing state -of -the -art technology. It also includes how people understand and manage their own health.

“In Mexico, people usually don’t think about their health until they are already ill,” she says. “I want to focus on using technology and education to keep people healthy.”

His vision is as ambitious as it is individual, lies in his journey from Zacatecus to Monteri and beyond.

As her career moves forward, she says, she intends to keep IEEE at the center of her professional life.

“I have found a community in IEEE that challenges me to grow, when I support me when I fail, and celebrate when I succeed,” she says. “It’s not just about engineering; it’s about making a better future, together.”
