It was founded by engineers, biophysicists, and medical doctors from universities, research and development institutions, and from clinical practice. In 1996, it was transformed into the Slovak Society of Biomedical Engineering and Medical Informatics, and two working sections, Biomedical Engineering (BME) and Medical Informatics (MI), were established. Since its origin, the Society has been active mainly in the scientific and educational fields, but, in recent years, an expert and legislative activities that became more important in connection with the health care system transformation in the country.
