Medical Device Organizations
Innovate with IEEE Information
Whether you’re researching artificial intelligence, gene expressions, medical imaging or any other
biomedical technology, IEEE is your gateway to the most vital information in the industry today.
With the intuitive IEEE Xplore® digital library, you’ll find the journal articles, conference proceedings
and standards needed to lead biomedical innovation—and boost your company’s bottom line.
IEEE Information Drives Biomedical Patents
Today’s corporations deliver new patented technologies at an ever-increasing pace—with research
that is at the forefront of the biomedical engineering industry. IEEE is one of the top three cited
publishers in medical device patents, with proven research you can’t find anywhere else.
Patent references to IEEE papers have increased 375 percent since 1997 and recent studies
of the top patenting companies show that IEEE scientific and technical articles are cited
3 times more often than any other scholarly or commercial publisher.
