The medical breakthroughs of the next decade depend on funding decisions made today. A world without sustained biomedical engineering funding means slower innovation, fewer breakthroughs and lives unchanged by technologies that could have existed.

BMES is collecting stories that show policymakers what this field has accomplished and what's still possible. Your story strengthens that case: https://hubs.la/Q03T0mSB0

Biomedical engineering's impact spans generations. In the 1950s, custom leg braces gave a child the ability to walk for the first time. Today, AI-powered diagnostic tools work 30 times faster than standard systems, catching diseases earlier and saving lives. Tomorrow, breakthroughs we haven't even imagined yet will become standard care.

In a world without biomedical engineering, none of this progress would have happened.

These innovations don't happen automatically. They require sustained research funding. They require years of work from dedicated engineers, researchers and clinicians.

BMES is collecting stories from across decades to show policymakers what biomedical engineering delivers when funding keeps flowing.

Think about your morning routine for a minute.

Contact lenses? That's biomedical engineering.
Smartwatch? Biomedical engineering.
CPAP machine last night? Biomedical engineering.
Inhaler for medication? Biomedical engineering.
Pacemaker or insulin pump? Biomedical engineering.

Before you finish your morning coffee, this field has touched your life multiple times. And people didn't think twice about it.

If we lived in a world without biomedical engineering, these devices wouldn't exist.

But they didn't appear by magic. Every single one came from years of research and development — made possible by sustained funding.

BMES is collecting stories that show what biomedical engineering makes possible and what's at stake when funding decisions are made.

While you sleep, biomedical engineering is working. Pacemakers keep hearts beating steadily. CPAP machines ensure proper breathing. Continuous glucose monitors track blood sugar levels. By the time you wake up, BME has already been working for hours.

But what if we lived in a world without biomedical engineering? Millions wouldn't have these devices they depend on every night.

BMES is collecting stories that show what this field makes possible.
