National Conference on Biomedical Engineering in Trivandrum

Hello all,
There is one conference in Biomedical Engineering in Trivandrum in KIMS. I would be going to this conference too. I see a lot of good speakers coming to the event . Lets see how it goes. I have attached the Brochure Image files below . Please share with your friends as well

[Credit: USC Viterbi School of Engineering]We’ve seen more than a handful of research projects with the goal to make robots look and feelmore like us humans. A team of scientists from the University of Southern California’s Viterbi School of Engineering is aiming specifically to make just a single artificial finger sensor, called BioTac, that can detect textures even better than a human can.

New Biomedical Devices Test Facility by DRDO

DEBEL sets up test facility on biomedical devicesBangalore: The Defence Bioengineering & Electromedical Laboratory (DEBEL) here has set up a new technical facility with advanced test facilities and analytical equipment for its Research and Development programmes on cutting edge technologies in life support systems and biomedical devices.

The facilities include a hydrostatic simulator to test prototypes/equipment at depths of 300 metres; a dynamic test centrifuge to handle pneumatic prototypes with specific payloads; a high altitude simulation chamber for human applications and advanced characterisation and testing facilities for technical textiles developed for military applications.

IamBiomed: Biomedical Engineering Notes Website


 


 

Recently, I came across a effort by Biomedical Engineering students, they are IIIrd yr students in biomedical from watumull institute,Worli,Mumbai. Varun Venkatesh and his friend Aditya ekawade alongwith Prerak Dalal have designed the whole website, I dont know what syllabus they follow but they have indexed Biomedical Engineering notes which is really great.

Past, Present and Future of Biomedical Engineering

Larry McIntire, Wallace H. Coulter Chair and Professor, spoke to students on November 3rd regarding the past, present, and future of the biomedical engineering department at Georgia Tech. With ‘Wallace H. Coulter’ referenced everywhere in BME, where did it actually come from? As a student studying electronics at Tech in the early 1930s, Wallace Coulter spent two years at Tech before going on to found Coulter Corporation based on his influential work in developing the industrial fine particle counting principle referred to as the Coulter Principle.

Innovations in Medical Sensors for Biomedical Electronics Applications in Healthcare

Biomedical electronics research is being driven by the aging “baby-boomer” population and their medical needs. This phenomenon is spurring fast development of new biotechnologies and need for access to innovative means of medical diagnosis and treatment in preventive medicine. Subsequently, the technologies of implants and advanced wireless electronic media will help alleviate rising medical costs in today’s society and extend the average longevity with a quality life in our later years.
