The theme of the meeting is “Innovations in Global Healthcare”. Consistent with our theme, we are seeking to arrange for plenary keynotes scientists, who will give forward looking visions as well as current technological/knowledge limitations in our field - to help focus and spark innovations in healthcare. A broad array of scientific tracks will cover diverse topics of cutting-edge research and innovation in biomedical engineering, healthcare technology R&D, translational clinical research, technology transfer and entrepreneurship, and biomedical engineering education. The conference program will also feature mini symposia, workshops, invited sessions, a networking tour and exhibits from vendors and universities.
