It publishes articles in spanish and english and is aimed at academics, researchers and professionals interested in the subspecialties of Biomedical Engineering.</p> <p><strong>INDEXES</strong></p> <p><em>La Revista Mexicana de Ingeniería Biomédica</em> is a quarterly publication, and it is found in the following indexes:</p> <p><img src="https://www.rmib.mx/public/site/images/administrador/índices_y_repositorios_(1100_×_1000 px).jpg" /></p> </center>https://rmib.mx/index.php/rmib/article/view/1559Techani: Use of technology as an ally in the management, monitoring, and control of Type 1 diabetes mellitus.2025-12-05T17:36:42+00:00Rocío Contreras-Jiménezrocio.cj@morelia.tecnm.mxJuan Carlos Olivares Rojasjuan.or@morelia.tecnm.mxAdriana del Carmen Téllez Anguianoadriana.ta@morelia.tecnm.mxJesús Eduardo Alcaraz Chávezeduardo.ac@morelia.tecnm.mxEnrique Reyes Archundiaenrique.ra@morelia.tecnm.mxJosé Antonio Gutiérrez Gnecchijose.gg3@morelia.tecnm.mx<p>Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune, unpreventable, and incurable disease in which insulin production ceases due to pancreatic beta-cell destruction. This work presents Techani, a web and mobile system designed to enhance treatment adherence and patient monitoring through a culturally adapted interface tailored to the Mexican context. The system integrates Artificial Intelligence tools and incorporates a broader range of variables than current applications, including mood, hydration, sleep, and atypical days, in addition to traditional clinical data. A mixed-methodology approach combining Scrum, UI/UX design, and empirical data collection through physician surveys was used to identify relevant determinants of glycemic control. The proposed system aims to strengthen patient autonomy, facilitate physician follow-up, and improve adherence by automating carbohydrate counting using the Mexican Food Equivalents System (SMAE). Compared to existing mHealth tools, Techani increases the number of monitored variables by more than 40% and enables potential data integration for predictive glucose modeling. Limitations include manual data entry and a small convenience sample for usability testing. Future validation studies will evaluate its clinical impact on glycemic control and treatment adherence, and integration with CGM data to assess its clinical impact on glycemic control.</p>2026-06-23T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2026 Revista Mexicana de Ingenieria Biomedicahttps://rmib.mx/index.php/rmib/article/view/1618Evaluation of PLA and PETG filaments for the addition of hydroxyapatite in 3D-printed dental models 2025-12-05T19:29:53+00:00Jorge Carlos Ríos-Hurtadojorgerios@uadec.edu.mxFrida Sofia Ibarra-Cazaresfrida_ibarra@uadec.edu.mxSergio Emmanuel González Pérezsergiogonzalezperez@uadec.edu.mxSandra Cecilia Esparza-Gonzálezsandraesparzagonzal@uadec.edu.mxGustavo Soria-Arguellogustavo.soria@ciqa.edu.mx<p style="font-weight: 400;">Additive manufacturing has established itself as a key technology in dentistry, enabling the manufacture of customized devices with precision and in reduced times. Among the most widely used filaments are polylactic acid (PLA) and glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate (PETG), both with different properties that influence clinical performance. This study presents a comparative evaluation of PLA and PETG filaments in the generation of hydroxyapatite on 3D-printed pieces through hydrothermal treatment in simulated body fluid (SBF) solution. Dental models were printed with PLA and PETG filaments under controlled conditions and immersed in SBF for 7, 14, and 21 days. Modified pieces were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR-TF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to evaluate surface modifications and mineral formation. The results showed that PLA, due to its greater porosity and roughness, favored early hydroxyapatite nucleation, presenting a stable layer at 21 days. PETG showed slow nucleation, but at 21 days it showed characteristic hydroxyapatite agglomerates. Cytotoxicity tests with 3T3 fibroblasts confirmed that both materials maintained cell viability above 70%.</p>2026-06-16T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2026 Revista Mexicana de Ingenieria Biomedica
