Focus and Scope

The Journal of Medical Mechatronic (JMM) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal that focuses on the integration of mechatronic engineering and automation control with medical and healthcare applications. The journal serves as a platform for researchers and professionals to publish high-quality work that bridges the gap between engineering innovations and medical needs.

Medical Robotics and Automation
A key focus of JMM is the development and application of medical robotics, including surgical robots, rehabilitation robotics, and nano-robotics for targeted drug delivery. We welcome research on autonomous systems, haptic feedback technologies, and AI-driven robotic control for minimally invasive procedures. Additionally, the journal covers advancements in robotic prosthetics and exoskeletons, emphasizing human-machine interaction, adaptive control algorithms, and real-time responsiveness in assistive devices.

Smart Medical Devices and Wearables
JMM highlights innovations in smart medical devices, such as implantable sensors, wearable health monitors, and IoT-enabled diagnostic tools. Topics of interest include energy-efficient designs, wireless communication in medical devices, and the integration of AI for predictive analytics. Research on next-generation prosthetics, bioelectronic implants, and closed-loop therapeutic systems (e.g., automated insulin pumps) is also encouraged, particularly studies demonstrating clinical validation and patient-centric design.

AI and Machine Learning in Healthcare
The journal explores the role of artificial intelligence in medical mechatronics, including machine learning algorithms for disease diagnosis, medical imaging analysis, and predictive maintenance of hospital equipment. We invite submissions on neural networks, deep learning models, and edge AI for real-time decision-making in clinical settings. Special emphasis is placed on explainable AI (XAI) to ensure transparency and trust in automated healthcare systems.

Biomechatronics and Human-Machine Interfaces
JMM supports research in biomechatronics, focusing on neural interfaces, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), and biologically inspired robotic systems. Studies on muscle-actuated prostheses, responsive exoskeletons, and sensory feedback mechanisms are particularly relevant. The journal also covers advancements in soft robotics for medical applications, such as flexible endoscopes and compliant surgical tools that improve patient safety and procedural accuracy.

Telemedicine and IoT-Driven Healthcare
With the rise of connected health systems, JMM includes research on telemedicine, remote patient monitoring, and smart hospital infrastructure. Topics include cloud-based diagnostics, 5G-enabled medical devices, and cybersecurity in healthcare IoT. We encourage submissions that address scalability, interoperability, and ethical considerations in digital health ecosystems, ensuring that technological advancements translate into equitable and sustainable healthcare solutions worldwide.

By maintaining a balance between theoretical research and applied innovations, JMM aims to accelerate the development of intelligent, reliable, and ethical medical mechatronic systems. The journal accepts original research articles, comprehensive reviews, case studies, and clinical trial reports, providing a comprehensive resource for engineers, clinicians, and researchers shaping the future of healthcare technology.
