Abstract :
When it comes to BME today, innovation might just be the most important buzzword around. That?s not because it happens to be the trend of the day across industries already; it?s because in the face of skyrocketing health care costs, a rapidly aging global population, and multiplying cases of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, we have no other choice. If our goal is ultimately to create a healthier, more vibrant global society, we must innovate?and radically.
