IJBET aims to advance and foster cutting edge research in the multi-disciplinary area of biomedical engineering and technology. Medical science is rapidly incorporating advances in science and technology that are combining to produce more accurate diagnoses, more effective treatments with fewer side effects, and improved ability to prevent disease and provide superior quality healthcare. One of the fields central to this endeavour is biomedical engineering and technology.
Biomedical engineering and technology 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, behaviour, 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.
IJBET includes the Asia-Pacific Chapter in Biomedical Wireless Technology (APC-BWT), which serves as a focus for the advancement of biomedical wireless technology in the Asia-Pacific region.
 Objectives
The objectives of IJBET are to establish an effective channel of communication between researchers and practitioners, government agencies, academic and research institutions and persons concerned with the complex roles of biomedical engineering and technology. It also aims to promote and coordinate developments in the field from the laboratory bench to the patient’s bedside. Healthcare is a global industry; the international dimension is therefore emphasised in order to facilitate the development of solutions that have a universal focus. Readership
IJBET provides a vehicle to help professionals, academics, researchers and policy makers, working in the fields of medical technology, medicine, biology, physics, chemistry, computer science and engineering, to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work as well as to become aware of critical issues to facilitate the development of new procedures, or to conduct research needed to solve specific clinical problems Contents
IJBET 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 in biomedical engineering and technology will occasionally be published.
In addition, an issue per year of IJBET will be devoted to papers from the Asia-Pacific Chapter in Biomedical Wireless Technology (APC-BWT). The APC-BWT Chapter actively encourages the publication of technical articles, applications, surveys and tutorials for IJBET. The Chapter publishes original contributions on biomedical wireless technology. Subject Coverage
The field of biomedical engineering and technology covers a wide spectrum of areas including: bioinstrumentation; biomaterials; biomechanics; cellular, tissue and genetic engineering; clinical engineering; medical imaging; orthopaedic surgery; rehabilitation engineering; and systems physiology, to name but a few.
Suitable topics for submission include but are not limited to the following areas:
- Artificial organs (hearing aids, cardiac pacemakers, artificial kidneys and hearts, blood oxygenators, synthetic blood vessels, joints, arms, and legs).
- Automated patient monitoring (during surgery or in intensive care, healthy persons in unusual environments, such as astronauts in space or underwater divers at great depth)
- Advanced therapeutic and surgical devices (laser system for eye surgery, automated delivery of insulin, etc.)
- Application of expert systems and artificial intelligence to clinical decision making (computer-based systems for diagnosing diseases)
- Biomaterials design (mechanical, transport and biocompatibility properties of implantable artificial materials)
- Biomechanics of injury and wound healing (gait analysis, application of growth factors, etc.)
- Blood chemistry sensors (potassium, sodium, O2, CO2, and pH)
- Computer modelling of physiologic systems (blood pressure control, renal function, visual and auditory nervous circuits, etc.)
- Design of optimal clinical laboratories (computerised analyzer for blood samples, cardiac catheterization laboratory, etc.)
- Medical imaging systems (ultrasound, computer assisted tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, etc.)
- Sports medicine (rehabilitation, external support devices, etc.)
Specific Notes for Authors
Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. (N.B. Conference papers may
only be submitted if the paper was not originally copyrighted and if it has
been completely re-written).
All papers are refereed through a double blind process. A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available on the Submission of
Papers web-page.
You may send one copy in the form of an MS Word file attached to an e-mail (details of file formats in Author
Guidelines) to Dr. Nilmini Wickramasinghe
Please include in your submission the title of the Journal
