The book “Medicine Based Informatics and Engineering” includes two powerful ideas to adapt Biomedical Engineering (BME) and Medical Informatics (MI) to the available basic technology. The limitations of technology should no longer be the starting point of design, but rather the development of biomedical devices, software and systems should stem from clinical wish lists and desiderata. The second idea is that BME and MI should merge into a single body of knowledge to better follow the demanding clinical challenges of modern Medicine. Having mastered the problems to be solved for survival and straightforward physiological compensation, repair and pain reduction, BME+MI are now asked to start from bedside and develop sophisticated tools to deliver better quality of life for increasing cohorts of ageing populations. Within this framework, the book includes about 10 pages chapters of diverse authors addressing these ideas from their own expertise. The range of fields is wide enough to give the reader an overview of what to expect in the coming decades in BME+MI concerning new medical software systems, pervasive medicine, intelligent follow-up and implanted devices, as well as the impact of electronic clinical record data analysis. The point of view of the book follows the personal and academic experience of the two editors, Simini (Uruguay) and Bertemes-Filho (Brasil), who has invited chapter writers from other 10 Countries around the World, half of which are Latin American entrepreneurs and scholars. Discussion among chapter authors is scheduled during a major BME+MI Congress, SABI2020, to be held March 2020 in Uruguay. Drafts versions of chapters will be interchanged seeking and interesting cross-fertilization of ideas, suggestions and spontaneous review. Once the chapters are written, a formal review system will be put in place by the Academic Editors Simini and Bertemes-Filho.
