ASAIO (formerly known as the American Society for Artificial Internal Organs) is a world-class society that has been in existence for decades and strives to "save lives one medical device at a time." The Annual Conference has run for over seven decades, with the Fort Lauderdale 2026 meeting marking the 72nd edition and the 2027 Houston meeting the 73rd. The society also publishes the peer-reviewed ASAIO Journal. The ASAIO Journal, published by Lippincott, Williams and Wilkins, reported a 2023 Impact Factor of 3.1 and produces twelve annual issues per year. ASAIO is focused on creating revolutionary therapies for organ failure, including bioartificial and hybrid organs, bionics, and cell and genetic therapies.
