All researchers interested in submitting papers for publication in the International Journal of Biomedical Engineering and Consumer Health Informatics are requested submit papers to any of the Editorial Board members or directly to the journal online. The journal is published two times a year.
IJBECHI aims to advance and foster cutting edge research in the multi-disciplinary areas of biomedical
engineering and consumer health informatics. Biomedical Engineering is rapidly incorporating advances in science and technologythat are combining to produce intelligent instrumentation, more accurate diagnoses, more effective treatments with fewer side effects, computer based patient management, and improved ability to prevent disease and provide superior quality healthcare. It is a multi-disciplinary field that provides a synthesis of physical, chemical, mathematical, and computational sciences combined with engineering principles to enhance research and developments in biology, medicine, behavior, and health. It advances fundamental concepts; creates knowledge from the molecular to the organ systems level; and develops innovative biologics, materials, processes,implants, devices and informatics approaches for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, for patient rehabilitation, and providing an overall enhancement of healthcare. The journal seeks to promote genuine interdisciplinary collaboration between those interested in the theoretical and clinical aspects of medicine and to foster and encourage the application of computers and mathematics to problems arising from the medical sciences.
Features include authoritative review papers, the reporting of original research, and evaluation reports on new and existing techniques and devices
Objectives
The objectives of Journal are to develop, promote and establish effective channels of communication among academicians, researchers, health professionals, policy makers, government agencies, and research institutions in order to coordinate the research, development, practice and applications of computer technology in the areas related to medical engineering. IJBECHI aims to help professionals working in the field, academic educators and policy-makers to contribute, to disseminate knowledge, and to learn from each other's work. The international dimension is emphasized in order to overcome cultural and national barriers and to meet the needs of accelerating technological changes and exchanges in the global economy. IJBECHI will provide an outstanding outlet that can shape a significant body of
research in the field of biomedical engineering and health informatics, where results and new developments may be shared across institutions, governments, researchers and students, and also industry.
Readership
IJMEI will be of interest to physicians and surgeons, engineers and scientists, hospital administrators, and all personnel concerned with a practical approach to the application of technology to the field of medicine. In general, the readership will include those working in the fields of computing applied to the medical and life sciences, healthcare services, knowledge discovery, applied research, human genome, biotechnology, biomathematics, engineering and medicine.
Contents
IJMEI publishes original papers, review papers, technical reports, case studies, conference reports, management reports, book reviews, notes, commentaries, and news. Special Issues devoted to important topics pertaining medical engineering, clinical research, medical informatics, disease modeling, biomedical technology, human genome, bioengineering, life sciences, medical technology, clinical decision making systems, organ modeling and simulation, data mining, and knowledge engineering will also be published occasionally. Contribution may be by submission or invitation, and suggestions for special issues and publications are welcome.
An ideal paper will combine theory with experiment and papers published will range from theoretical modeling papers, computer based analysis and decision support to experimental clinical papers.
IJBECHI welcomes the submission of rapid communications, offering researchers the opportunity to pose problems and suggest pathways to the medical and informatics community and comment on topical issues and current research.
