Aims and Scope

Health Engineering is a high quality multidisciplinary journal aimed at providing readers with cutting-edge research across all fields of engineering related to health and disease. Health Engineering covers both fundamental and applied aspects of original research on engineering-driven science, technology and methodology ranging from the promotion of health, prevention of disease, maintenance of health to drug development and novel therapeutic options to treat disease.

This journal, which accepts both theoretical and experimental studies, serves the interdisciplinary community of chemists, engineers, physicists, biologists and biomedical scientists/physicians, to disseminate and communicate knowledge, discoveries and innovations in engineering sciences applied to biological systems.
