ontributed Papers-Full are presented either as an oral presentation or a poster presentation. The type of presentation will be determined by the Conference Editorial Board based on factors such as the reviewer's suggestions and topic of the paper. All presented and contributed papers will be published in IEEE Xplore and indexed by PubMed and Medline.
At least one author of the paper must be registered at the appropriate full conference rate (Member, Non-member, Student member, Student non-member) in order to upload the final paper. If complete payment of a registration fee is not received, authors will not be able to proceed with uploading their final manuscript. While any author of the paper may be registered, only the designated "corresponding author" may upload the final paper. Once a manuscript has been uploaded, the registration fees cannot be refunded. Please be sure that the attending author completes payment and uploads the final paper. This means that they must be the "corresponding author".

THREE DAYS STUDENT WORKSHOP ON"Recent Trends
on IoT in Medical Applications
|
We created the Opportunity to learn one of the popular and applicable VHDL language for Medical applications and Network with fellow programmers and coding enthusiasts. The research on Internet of Things (IoT) is being promoted in the field of Medical Application. This workshop is to intend to impart knowledge in the basics of IoT in the field Medical application. The hands on training is provided in the different sensors with FPGA board. Advanced applications included in the workshop to provide knowledge on current industrial trends. Finally, the best project idea contest has been conducted and winners awarded with cash prizes.
Totally 52 students (IEEE EMBS) attended the workshop. The resource person created knowledge to students, about the details associated with the research from this workshop.

BME TECHNOLOGIES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO "TRANSFORM OUR WORLD."
|
|
|
|
Of the key technologies listed as "ready to propel industries and transform our world" in the 2017 report Top 50 Emerging Technologies: Growth Opportunities of Strategic Imperative, most fall under the scope of biomedical engineering (BME). Issued by the major market research and analysis company Frost and Sullivan, the report's findings are no surprise to the researchers, clinicians, and others who are heavily invested in this field. Of the more than two dozen BME-related areas listed in the report, several are especially noteworthy, according to the experts. These include biosensors. From a skin-mounted patch that analyzes sweat and provides "quantitative values for sweat rate, total sweat loss, pH, and concentration of chloride and lactate" to an in-ear device for athletes that wirelessly and in real time tracks core body temperature, heart rate, maximum rate of oxygen consumption (VO2), speed, and distance, new sensor research as well as clinical and commercial products seem to be announced almost daily. Other major BME-related advances are the advent of high-resolution, rapid imaging techniques as well as advance in 3-D printing.
