ABOUT THE EVENT

The impact of Medical Electronics on Diagnostics and Personal Medical Devices, Patient Care, Surgery, Drug Delivery etc has become an integral part of Medical Science, leading to the creation of Medical Electronics cadre. Select examples are Personal Medical Devices, Bio-physical monitoring, Life Support Systems, Implants, Bionics in Rehabilitation of Physically Challenged, Embedded Technology in Neuro (ASIC and Stroke Recovery) and Cardiac Sciences and lately Telemedicine.

It is an area where state of the art knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology, Electronics Control, Conversion, Sensing, Information Processing, Storage, Display and Transfer is involved.

Lately the convergence of wireless, healthcare and patient-care technologies, combined with the expansion of Wireless service across India, holds immense possibilities of offering diagnostic services to the masses. Broadband connectivity will make Telemedicine a reality by connecting the healthcare specialists in urban centers to patients located in remote areas.

Technological Advancements of products and embedded solutions in recent years has necessiated interaction with experts and updation of skills. This may facilitate decisions in specification, simplify regulations, equipment selection and be a pointer to innovations in this sector raising the efficiency and accuracy of medical equipments aiding therapists and diagnostics professionals. Importantly Opportunities for better Industrial Export Performance and Joint Research/Co Development may be identified.

Recognizing this important need for refreshing earlier skills and knowledge and to generate awareness about Advancements and Opportunities An International Conference in Medical Electronics for Information Sharing with experts is being organised the first of its kind in Asia with Applications of Medical Electronics as the focus area.
