description abstract | The Journal of Medical Devices (JMED) is an exciting new venture offered by ASME with the support of the Design Division and the Bioengineering Division of this Society. This journal offers an important opportunity to our biomedical and design community to describe innovative devices used in the clinic and the laboratory, which cannot be easily presented in other journals or venues. We hope that you will join us in this new journal—submit a manuscript, serve as a reviewer, and join the excitement in this rapidly growing area—medical device design, development, evaluation, testing, and final use in health care. This is indeed a real world journal—not just a theoretical presentation of ideas, but rather a presentation of medical devices and technology that change our world and our lives. | |
