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.
