What does AIMBE Do?
A vehicle for input of biomedical engineering
expertise into public policy making process:
AIMBE:
• Promotes awareness of medical and biological
engineering as a resource to solve common problems
• Works with lawmakers, government agencies, and
other professional groups to support public policy
impacting research and development
• Promotes the national interest in education, science,
and engineering

Five Public Policy Issues Affecting
Biomedical Engineering
• Spiraling R&D costs coupled with decreased
productivity
• Demand for safety and post-marketing
surveillance
• Expectation of personalized medicine
• Reimbursement driven by medical and
economic outcomes
• Proliferation and redistribution of healthcare
outcomes information

Success In Technology Industrialization
• People with strong sense of national purpose

•
Strong investments in education and training
Strategy to move rapidly up value chain
Effective requirements for training and tech transfer
Critical mass in R&D is beginning to be deployed to generate
autonomous sources of innovation & growth
• Government goal is to acquire technological
capabilities both to grow and to maintain national
autonomy.
• Focused, Committed, and Willing to Spend

MBE’s Impact on the U.S. Economy
• 10.3% growth in net sales in
2008 compared to 5.9%
growth in sales for the rest
of the economy
• 2008: health care and
social assistance industries
increased GDP by 4.6%
• Total GDP attributed to
health care expenditures:
$2.3 trillion (2008)
• MBE-specific exports lead
imports, which increases
national income
