Since the establishment of the Biomedical Discipline in the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) in 2004, the status of biomedical engineers in Hong Kong has been recognized and raised. Local biomedical engineers have been actively supporting the research and development (R&D), the medical device listing and future mandatory regulations, making Hong Kong and the Biomedical Engineering International Conference 2014 (BME2014 Hong Kong) the most timely platform for information exchange.
