Bioelectronic Medicine (BEM), which uses implantable electronic medical devices to interface with electrically active tissues, aspires to revolutionize the way we understand and fight disease. By leveraging knowledge from microelectronics, materials science, information technology, neuroscience and medicine, BEM promises to offer novel solutions that address unmet clinical needs and change the concept of therapeutics. This perspective communicates our vision for the future of BEM and presents the necessary steps that need to be taken and the challenges that need to be faced before this new technology can flourish.
生物电子医学（BEM）利用可植入电子医疗设备与电活性组织进行交互，旨在彻底改变我们理解和对抗疾病的方式。通过利用微电子学、材料科学、信息技术、神经科学和医学等领域的知识，生物电子医学有望提供新的解决方案，以满足未被满足的临床需求，并改变治疗的概念。这一观点阐述了我们对生物电子医学未来的愿景，并提出了在这项新技术蓬勃发展之前需要采取的必要步骤以及需要面对的挑战。
