JMIR Biomedical Engineering is inviting submissions for a new section titled “AI Applications in Biomedical Engineering.” This themed section explores the integration of biomedical engineering and artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on how AI's capabilities are changing health care.
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, AI in biomedical engineering 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.
We seek contributions that demonstrate how AI is being used in biomedical research, diagnosis, treatment, and patient care. We welcome original research, viewpoints, literature reviews, and research letters that provide insight into the applications of AI in biomedical engineering.
Topics for this new section in JMIR Biomedical Engineering 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)
- Fusion of machine learning and domain knowledge, including feature extraction and computational modeling from biomedical images and annotation-efficient learning from biomedical imaging
- Developing intelligent prosthetics, artificial limbs, or biomechanical enhancements
- Addressing ethical issues related to the design and applications of AI in biomedical engineering
How to Submit
To submit an article to JMIR Biomedical Engineering, please visit the submission page. Consult our Instructions for Authors for more information on how to submit a manuscript.
Submission Guidelines
Articles that are solely written using generative AI or other AI tools will not be accepted. For more information, please refer to the JMIR Publications editorial policy.
All submissions undergo rigorous peer review, and accepted articles will be published in the new JMIR Biomedical Engineering section “AI Applications in Biomedical Engineering.”
All articles will be shared and published rapidly through the following mechanisms:
- All peer-reviewed articles will be immediately and permanently made open access. This is the standard for all titles within the JMIR Publications portfolio.
- Articles can be made immediately available (with a DOI) in JMIR Preprints after submission if authors choose to enable this service by selecting the preprint option at submission.
Submissions not reviewed or accepted for publication in JMIR Biomedical Engineering may be offered cascading peer review or transfer to other JMIR Publications journals according to standard policies. Authors are encouraged to submit study protocols or grant proposals to JMIR Research Protocols before data acquisition in order to pre register their study as a registered report.
