Engineers are invited to submit AI-focused studies on medical devices, diagnostics, and biomedical processes for inclusion in JMIR Biomedical Engineering’s upcoming theme issue.


JMIR Publications invites submissions to a new theme issue titled “AI Applications in Biomedical Engineering” in its open-access journal JMIR Biomedical Engineering. The peer-reviewed journal is indexed in PubMed, PubMed Central, Scopus, DOAJ, Sherpa/Romeo, and EBSCO/EBSCO Essentials.  

AI is rapidly advancing biomedical engineering, with the potential to contribute to medical device development, personalized diagnostics or treatment, patient outcome prediction, or drug discovery. Specifically, it can assist in disease diagnosis and treatment optimization to predict patient prognoses. AI and machine learning applications can also enhance biological signal analysis and image processing in biomedical technologies, advancing fields such as brain-computer interfaces, neuroprosthetics, and medical imaging. 

This themed section aims to showcase current research on AI applications in biomedical engineering from engineers, clinicians, and industry experts.

Topics for this new section include, for example, AI applications for: 

  • Developing, designing, or improving medical devices, systems, and products
  • Augmenting biomedical processes (eg, diagnosis, drug delivery, disease management, or treatment)
  • Enhancing medical imaging technologies or processing (eg, image segmentation, image synthesis, and image analysis)
  • Developing intelligent prosthetics, artificial limbs, or biomechanical enhancements
  • Addressing ethical issues related to the design and applications of AI in biomedical engineering

All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process, and accepted articles will be published as part of the theme issue.
