PISCATAWAY, N.J. (BUSINESS WIRE) – December 3, 2024 – IEEE, the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for humanity, and the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS), today announced the appointment of medical technology leader Chad Andresen as editor-in-chief of IEEE Pulse. His duties will commence on January 1, 2025.
Beginning his career at Curonix, a startup developing an implantable neurostimulator to treat chronic pain, Andresen has held several engineering, strategy, and commercialization roles in many different disease areas, including sleep disorders, respiratory health, migraines, diabetes, spine-ortho, and gastroenterology. He earned his B.S. in biomedical engineering from Arizona State University and has over 50 patents credited to him.
“Everyday, I see new and interesting technologies and applications of biomedical engineering that inspire my own work,” said Andresen. “I hope to convey that inspiration to the biomedical community through IEEE Pulse.
“Our field is making great strides in areas such as bioinformatics, sensors and wearables, regenerative medicine, and more — areas that have the potential to positively impact the lives of hundreds of millions of people,” Andresen continued. “This publication can serve not only as a platform for elevating the members of the IEEE community, but also as a means of informing the general public about the groundbreaking innovations happening in labs worldwide.”
IEEE Pulse is the flagship magazine for IEEE EMBS, which reports on a broad variety of topics related to biomedical engineering. The magazine publishes articles suited for general and technical audiences on the latest biomedical technologies and methods, as well as their societal and ethical implications.
