In order to align with the original goals of the IEEE organization’s IEEE Mentoring Meeting, the IEEE EMBS Student Activities Committee (IEEE EMBS SAC) is now shaping the Student Mentoring Program (SMP) for EMBS members. The SMP, a student-led initiative by the Student Activities Committee (SAC), is an annual series of events that aim to offer a support network for students to connect with experienced professionals that align with their interests all over the world [1] , [2] . The program is a part of the Professional Development Portfolio along with other programs under IEEE EMBS SAC [3] , [4] . It is aimed at promoting the skills and professional development of students and young professionals in the IEEE EMB Society. Matching the mentee(s) and a mentor based on the same area of research interest (AOI) for reaching their goals is the main significance of the program. This article will explain the experience and achievements from both sides of being a mentor and a mentee in SMP 2022.

What does it mean to advance technology for humanity? Does it beg us to ask, “Define technology?” and “What segment of Humanity?”
为人类推进技术意味着什么？它是否要求我们问："技术的定义是什么？"以及 "人类的哪一部分？"

The need for viable global health solutions—and particularly solutions for global surgery—are paramount [2] . In response, a research group at the University of Leeds, U.K., has been working in concert with a multidisciplinary team to develop retractor for abdominal insufflation-less surgery (RAIS), a gasless laparoscopy system that enables crucial surgery in low-resource settings. The group is led by Peter Culmer, professor in health care engineering at the University of Leeds ( Figure 1 ). Recently, their paper, “The RAIS Device for Global Surgery: Using a Participatory Design Approach to Navigate the Translational Pathway,” published in the IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine [1] , was selected to receive the 2023 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Paper Award.
目前最需要的是可行的全球健康解决方案，尤其是全球外科手术解决方案[2]。为此，英国利兹大学的一个研究小组与多学科团队合作开发了无充气腹腔镜手术牵开器（RAIS），这是一种无气体腹腔镜系统，可在低资源环境下进行关键手术。该小组由利兹大学医疗保健工程学教授 Peter Culmer 领导（图 1）。最近，他们发表了题为 "用于全球手术的 RAIS 设备 "的论文：该论文发表在《电气和电子工程师学会健康与医学转化工程学杂志》（IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine）[1]上，被选为 2023 年度电气和电子工程师学会医学与生物学工程学论文奖。

Despite spending more on health care, the United States has the highest infant and maternal mortality rates of any high-income country, according to a recent report by the Commonwealth Fund [1] . In 2020, U.S. maternal mortality was over three times the rate in most other high-income countries, at 23.8 maternal deaths for every 100,000 live births. And troublingly, these numbers are rising, with 32.9 maternal deaths for every 100,000 live births reported in 2021 [2] . In addition, rates of maternal morbidity—short- and long-term health problems related to pregnancy or giving birth—are increasing [3] .

Robotic technologies are already becoming part of joint replacement operations in many hospitals, but the need for research groups to come up with both small and large innovations remains great, according to Harpal “Paul” Khanuja, M.D., chief of joint replacement surgery for Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine ( Figure 1 ), and Daniel Wiznia, M.D., an assistant professor of both mechanical engineering and materials science in the Yale University School of Engineering, and the director of technology and innovation in the Yale Department of Orthopedics ( Figure 2 ).

The World Health Organization calls low back pain the single leading cause of disability worldwide, and one that can lead to limitations in activities and erosion of the quality of life [1] . The pain is often caused by degeneration of one or more shock-absorbing intervertebral discs, each of which is essentially a collagen-and-water cushion, called nucleus pulposus (NP), that lies within a strong, collagen-rich sack, known as the annulus fibrosis.

For an IEEE society, the IEEE EMBS SAC mainly functions with five main portfolios according to the new organized organogram of Team 2023 [1] . They are the Student Representation Portfolio, the Technical Activities Portfolio, the Professional Development Portfolio, the Public Relations Portfolio, and the Administrative Portfolio. Under five main portfolios, the team is now shaping five main initiatives, such as the Student Mentoring Program (SMP), International Student Conference (ISC), Student Leadership Programs, Student Professional Development, and Summer Camps, respectively [2] , [3] . Among them, the SMP is one of the flagship programs of the EMBS SAC under the Professional Development Portfolio and has been successfully running since 2021 [4] . It is organized and run by a chairperson, who is supported by a team of ambassadors. The chairperson is usually a member of the SAC lead team.
