Abstract :
The Medical Electronics Center of the Rockefeller Institute seeks to advance the application of electronic techniques in the life sciences and medicine through conferences on specialized topics, by the publication of the Bibliography of Medical Electronics and by acting as a clearing house of ideas and facilities in the field of medical electronics. However, a much greater effort is needed to realize the potentialities of electronics in medicine. An important step forward, overcoming some of the major obstacles to progress, would be the creation of one or several Medical Engineering Research Institutes, having the specific object of facilitating the development, initial production, and clinical testing of apparatus for medical research and practice, and serving at the same time as a training center in the boundary field of medical electronics.
