“Research and Regulatory in Biomedical Engineering” |
Since
the establishment of the Biomedical Discipline by the Hong Kong
Institution of Engineers (HKIE) in 2004, the status of biomedical
engineers in Hong Kong has been recognised and raised, leading to the
further enhancement of the professionalism. As a multi-disciplinary
professional, biomedical engineering penetrates various aspects, e.g.
orthopaedics, prosthesis, bioinformatics, biomechanics, biomaterials,
rehabilitation, and sterilisation. The biomedical engineering
professional has been provided with increasing attention in Hong Kong
through the continuous promotion of the high level engineering practice
and integrity, the provision of new initiatives in research and
development (R&D), as well as the active participation in
supporting the medical device listing and future mandatory regulations,
making Hong Kong and the BME2010 Biomedical Engineering International Conference and Pre-Conference Workshop, Hong Kong,
the most timely platform for information exchange. The BME conference
series has been a biennial converging point of biomedical professionals
of different nationalities, disciplines and research foci since 1992.
BME2010 Hong Kong composes of 2-day scientific presentation and
workshop, 1-day pre-conference workshop plus 1-day technical visit,
serves as a platform for the biomedical engineers, researchers,
regulators, industrialists and healthcare professionals to exchange the
latest information and achievements. Presentation topics cover from
laboratory research to clinical application, facilitating the idea
exchange on the new advancement of R&D and industry update in a
wide spectrum and allowing further promotion of the professional
development in the field.
Conference Theme |
With the Conference theme "Research and Regulatory in Biomedical Engineering",
the Conference will promote professionalism and enhance the competence
of local biomedical engineers through a range of topics covering
research, technological advancement, regulatory issues, quality
management systems, etc., in order to support the biomedical engineers
on the commercialisation of research and development deliverables in
biomedical engineering as well as the design and manufacturing of high
value-added medical and healthcare devices.
|
Institutional Visit |
A institutional visit will be arranged during the
Conference, to allow the participants to have in-person appreciation of
the research and development of biomedical engineering in a particular
area.
|
Paper Presentation |
Call
for abstract will be held before the Conference. Concurrent Sessions
will be held for the oral presentation of the accepted abstracts.
Poster presentation is available at the same time.
|
Young Engineers' Paper Competition |
The
Young Engineers' Paper Competition will be held concurrently during the
BME2010 Hong Kong to keep young biomedical engineers abreast of the
latest biomedical development and uphold their professionalism on
biomedical research and development.
