The ETSI hosts the XLII Annual Congress of the Spanish Society of Biomedical Engineering (CASEIB 2024)

The Higher Technical School of Engineering of the University of Seville hosts, between November 13 and 15, more than 300 experts who will participate in the XLII Annual Congress of the Spanish Society of Biomedical Engineering (CASEIB 2024).

This congress has been organized by the Spanish Society of Biomedical Engineering (SEIB) and the University of Seville , represented by the Biomedical Engineering and Signal Processing and Communications Research Groups, and has the collaboration of the Federation of Health Technology Companies ( Fenin) and the Spanish node of the European Institute of Innovation & Technology in Health (EIT Health Spain).

CASEIB is the main meeting place to establish collaborative ties between research groups, industry and clinical and engineering professionals who work in key areas for the digital transformation of health, such as, among others, signal and image processing. medical, neuroengineering and rehabilitation engineering, telemedicine, and connected health, health informatics, modeling and simulation of biomedical systems, surgical planning and simulation, biomedical instrumentation, biomechanics and biomaterials, robotics medical, or nanomedicine.

The motto chosen for this edition of CASEIB, "Enhancing multidisciplinary collaboration through Biomedical Engineering", is a reflection of the importance of this scientific and professional discipline to join forces towards the implementation of new paradigms of health care. , aimed at solving the challenges of sustainability and inclusivity that affect health systems. 

The CASEIB 2024 scientific program represents the current panorama of Biomedical Engineering, which is marked, on the one hand, by the transformative power of health technologies on health care, on the other, by the emergence of digital twins, and on the other, due to the maturity of artificial intelligence and additive biomanufacturing techniques. Proof of this is the number of contributions presented on these aspects.

In addition, this program includes the presentation of 208 communications, distributed in 18 regular sessions and three poster sessions, to which three special sessions have been added that address topics such as cardiovascular engineering, neurotechnologies, nanomedicine and biomaterials. The topicality of the two round tables that are part of the program are also highlighted, and in which personalities from the academic, industrial, healthcare and hospital management and innovation fields will discuss innovation in health technology and the incorporation of biomedical engineer to the hospital of the future. 

CASEIB 2024 also dedicates particular attention to students and young researchers, including the finalist sessions for the Prof. José María Ferrero Corral and SEIB-Fenin awards, and the presentation of the SEIB and Innovate & Inspire awards from EIT-Health. The program is completed with two plenary conferences, given by Prof. Gregg Suaning, from the University of Sydney and Dr. Ismael Muñoz, Secretary General of Care Planning and Consumption of the Ministry of Health and Consumption of the Government of Andalusia, who They will speak about innovation in implanted medical devices and Andalusia's digital health strategy.

For three days, Seville will be an exceptional setting where you can share experiences and enrich yourself with the latest advances in Biomedical Engineering.
