2004 IEEE International Workshop on Biomedical Circuits and Systems (BioCAS 04)

1-3 December 2004, Marina Mandarin Hotel, Singapore


The 2004 IEEE International Workshop on Biomedical Circuits and Systems (BioCAS04) is aimed at promoting activities among Circuits & Systems community to apply circuits & systems technologies to medical applications, deepening interactions between the fields of engineering and medicine, and providing a forum for researchers to exchange their latest findings in this emerging field with the objective of encouraging cross-fertilization of ideas and gaining momentum for further developments in this fast growing area. More information is located at: http://www.ieeebiocas.org.

This BioCAS04 International Workshop is designed to bring together engineers, scientists, medical researchers and practitioners to create inter-disciplinary bonding. It covers a wide range of topics from circuit technologies, signal processing and medical imaging, to biotechnologies, bionics, and BioMEMS. The themes include, but are not limited to:

  1. Low-power low-voltage circuits
  2. Innovative circuits for medical applications
  3. Implantable electronics
  4. Sensor devices and interface circuits
  5. Biosignal processing
  6. Biomedical imaging and image processing
  7. BioMEMS
  8. Biomedical instrumentations
  9. Biomedical aids to the disabled
  10. Noninvasive test and drug delivery systems
  11. Telecare systems for elderly care
  12. Ultra-wideband technology for medical applications
  13. Wearable Biomedical electronics
  14. Wireless Body Area Network
