15th Mediterranean Conference on Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing - MEDICON2019
2019-09-26 - 2019-09-28 | Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal
Patient empowerment has emerged as a new paradigm that positions the patients at the heart of the health system and encourages them to be actively involved in managing their own healthcare needs. Effective patient empowerment requires a holistic approach, combining multiple dimensions of needs and patient contexts. Medical and Biological Engineering, as well as Computing, are disciplines at the heart of patient empowerment. Research and development in these areas are impacting the science and technology by advancing fundamental concepts in translational medicine and understanding in human physiology, function and behaviour at multiple levels. This is leading to improved tools and techniques for the detection, prevention, treatment and management of diseases. MEDICON2019 provides a common platform for the cross fertilization of ideas, and to help shape knowledge and scientific achievements by bridging complementary disciplines into an interactive and attractive forum under the special theme of the conference that is “Improving healthcare through holistic patient empowerment”.

XLI Annual GNB School 2022 – Biomedical Engineering for Sustainable Development
2022-09-12 - 2022-09-15 | Brixen, Brixen, Italy
The XLI GNB school offers students an alternative view to the problems and applications of biomedical engineering, based on a frugal and contextualized approach, key to fostering the accessibility to safe healthcare without borders. Indeed, the applications are not limited to low-middle income countries (LMICs), but extend to other contexts where resources may be lacking (e.g., natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics).
Benefitting from the on-field experience of lectures, mentors, and keynote speakers, the school will follow a “hands-on” teaching approach.
Students will collaboratively explore the salient steps for the development of safe, certifiable medical devices, thanks to the design framework offered by the UBORA platform.
They will go through the analysis of needs, the classification according to European Medical Device Regulation, and the identification of relevant standards to guide and support the design process. Appropriate and key enabling technologies, such as 3D printing, mobile technologies, artificial intelligence will be contextualized through cases of study and practical activities.
The school will be instrumental for nurturing a new generation of Biomedical Engineers, able to respond to the demographic and environmental challenges of the 21st century.
