Aims & Scope


The Open Medical Devices Journal is an Open Access online journal, which publishes high quality research articles, reviews/mini-reviews, letters and guest edited single topic issues in all important areas related to the development and clinical use of medical devices. The journal encourages submissions related to various fields of medical devices including:

  • Design, characterization, modeling and clinical validation of microfabricated systems


  • Biosensors


  • Diagnostic and therapeutic applications of micro-electro-mechanical systems


  • Systems for neural stimulation and recording


  • Microfabrication and nanotechnology


  • Bioseparation technologies


  • Fluid dynamics in micro- and nano-fabricated channels


  • Microfabricated systems



The Open Medical Devices Journal, a peer-reviewed journal, is an important and reliable source of current information on important developments in the field. The emphasis will be on publishing quality papers rapidly and making them freely available to researchers worldwide.
