| About
the Event Biomedical
engineering is the application of engineering principles and techniques
to the medical field. It combines the design and problem solving skills
of engineering with medical and biological sciences to improve
healthcare diagnosis and treatment. Through the efforts of
industry, government and academia, Canada has made significant
contributions to this field.
During this afternoon event, presenters will review recent progress in biomedical engineering with particular focus on EMI/EMC, communications, computing, signal processing and product development. The meeting time (Friday afternoon) and place (close to Vancouver International Airport) were chosen to be particularly convenient for both industrial and academic attendees. |
Registration: Thanks to
generous sponsorship by Western Economic Diversification Canada,
registration for
this event is free of charge.
Please register by sending your name, company affiliation, and contact information to Prof. Dave Michelson, UBC at davem@ece.ubc.ca. Because the event is being held in an industry facility, all attendees must register in advance, and no later than the close of business on Wed, 13 Apr 2010. Space is limited, so registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first serve basis. |
