Goals:
Provide an opportunity for:
- Ideas and knowledge exchange between IEEE/EMBS members, industrial partners, researchers and collaborators.
- Medical & Biology professionals to explain the practical issues, and researchers to propose possible solutions.
- Industry, researchers and collaborators to showcase their state-of-the-art systems and algorithms to address these issues.
- Studetns to understand the industrial needs and current research projects conducted, and demonstrate student work in biomedical research.
- Establishing longer term research collaboration and funding opportunities.
