In an era where medical technology advances—such as AI-assisted surgery, 3D-printed implants, and telemedicine—are reshaping healthcare, there is an urgent need for a dedicated platform that bridges clinical demands with engineering solutions. ACE addresses this gap as China’s first journal centered on clinician-driven medical-engineering innovation, aiming to:

—Timely and comprehensively publish innovative research outcomes at the intersection of clinical medicine (surgery) and biomedical engineering.

—Accelerate the translation of scientific research into clinical practice, solving real-world clinical problems from a clinician’s perspective.

—Enhance international academic influence in the global medical-engineering community and contribute to global healthcare development.
