Conference on biomedical electronics and devices, Algarve, Portugal
Biomedical research is often defined as basic research, applied research, or translational research conducted to aid and support the body of knowledge in the field of medicine. It can be divided into two general categories: the evaluation of new treatments for both safety and efficacy in what are termed clinical trials, and all other research that contributes to the development of new treatments. The latter is termed preclinical research if its goal is specifically to elaborate knowledge for the development of new therapeutic strategies.
The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners from electronics and mechanical engineering, interested in studying and using models, equipments and materials inspired from biological systems and/or addressing biological requirements. Some of the themes that will be discussed are:
- monitoring devices;
- instrumentation sensors;
- systems and biorobotics;
- micro-nanotechnologies;
- biomaterialsFor further information, please visit: http://www.biodevices.biostec.org/home.asp(opens in new window)
