Conference Announcement
MEDICON 2004
X Mediterranean Conference on Medical and Biological Engineering
The Italian Association of Medical and Biological Engineering announces MEDICON 2004,
the Tenth Mediterranean Conference of the International Federation for Medical and
Biological Engineering (IFMBE).
Since the first conference in Sorrento in 1997, MEDICON has been held every three years: 1977 Sorrento, Italy - 1980 Marseille, France - 1983 Portoroz, Slovenia - 1986 Sevilla, Spain - 1989 Patras, Greece - 1992 Capri, Italy - 1995 Jerusalem, Israel - 1998 Lemessos, Cyprus - 2001 Pula, Croatia.
The objective of the conference is to provide the latest scientific and technical information and to present significant developments in the field of biomedical engineering and medical physics. In the new information society, the contribution of these disciplines in healthcare is becoming more and more relevant. The conference program will consist of both invited keynote lectures and submitted papers dealing with latest research, development and technologies in this field.
The conference will enable participants to meet and exchange their experiences. They can share their views with experts and associate with colleagues from all over the world. The aim of this conference is to promote biomedical engineering, to encourage its greater involvement in clinical practice and to give recognition to its importance and relevance in biomedicine and healthcare.
MEDICON 2004 will incorporate also the Second Health Telematics Conference. This second edition, following the HT'95, aims to promote discussion, the exchange of ideas and interaction about the rapidly evolving topics of healthcare telematics and telemedicine.
Authors world-wide are invited to submit papers for MEDICON 2004.
