Welcome to the online submission and editorial system for Healthcare Engineering

Healthcare Engineering is an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing the integration of engineering principles into healthcare systems, technologies, and practices. It publishes original research, reviews, and case studies that address challenges in medical device design, health informatics, clinical decision support, telemedicine, and hospital infrastructure. The journal welcomes contributions that enhance patient care, optimize healthcare delivery, and promote innovation in diagnostics, therapeutics, and rehabilitation. By bridging engineering, medicine, and data science, Healthcare Engineering serves as a platform for researchers, clinicians, and technologists committed to transforming healthcare through evidence-based, scalable, and sustainable solutions. Subject areas include, but are not limited to the following fields:

The primary aim of this publishing company is to perform fast and reliable process for contributors. Once a paper is accepted, our staffs work hard to provide online version of the papers as quickly as possible. All papers are assigned valid DOI number once they appear online just to make sure that the other people researchers cite them while no volume and numbers are still assigned to the papers. We believe this could help the existing knowledge grow faster; however, the actual publication of a paper with volume and number will not exceed more than 4 months.

Healthcare Engineering is an open access journal, which provides instant access to the full text of research papers without any need for a subscription to the journal where the papers are published. Therefore, anyone has the opportunity to copy, use, redistribute, transmit/display the work publicly and to distribute derivative works, in any sort of digital form for any responsible purpose, subject to appropriate attribution of authorship. Authors who publish their articles may also maintain the copyright of their articles.
