ISABEL 2011-International symposium in Biomedical & communication
Theme
Smart Enablers of Communication and Biomedical Technologies supporting Post-Disaster Aftermath
Scope
The inter-disciplinary approach is becoming an increasing need in scienti?c and industrial communities. The most evident example of such a need is represented by the strong interconnection between biomedical and communication engineering. On the one hand, ICT can provide new tools for making healthcare systems more ef? cient and responsive in order to supply in-the-home and mobile healthcare solutions. On the other hand, many of the most recent advances in communication technologies – from algorithms to the electronics and materials – are “bio-inspired”. Moreover, it is increasing the awareness of the great potentials offered by the synergistic combination of many disciplines (e.g., mathematics and physics, biology and chemistry) in both biomedical and communication engineering.
