About workshop: Technological advances in the design of biomedical devices, development and optimization of new techniques, and monitoring of patients or patients treatments, contribute to the improved safety of the patients and speed up the healing process. The workshop deals with novel methods and approaches in biomedical engineering that could be used in improving patient care and optimizing the cost of the treatment. The workshop will be focused on biosensors, biomedical methods in research, measurement of biosignals in clinical practice and evaluation of economical aspects of the healthcare.
About workshop: Assisting robotics allows patients to perform repeated movements. Such movements can stimulate the brain to regain the upper/lower limb control and the phenomenon has been termed as neuroplasticity. Recent research emphasize that electromechanical-assisted gait training in association with Functional Electrical Stimulations (FES) produced more benefits than the only robotic treatment. Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a new technology with a potential to restore, substitute, or augment lost motor behaviours in patients with neurological injuries. The workshop deals with hybrid systems which aim to combine BCI, FES and exoskeletons to induce motor-recovery in impaired people due to a lesion at central nervous system level.

About workshop: The goal of the workshop is to establish a collaborative interdisciplinary research environment, by using the appropriate set of mechanical, electronics and bioengineering sciences, in order to develop aerospace applications. Gathering specialists from all these fields of interest will result in future innovative research and cross-border studies with real impact on everyday life. The current technological challenges of the space industry, as well as the international ESA program, bring the need for innovative research programs, requiring highly qualified experts and a broad interdisciplinary vision. The development of these technologies is possible only through intense collaboration between the technological sectors corresponding to the exact and biomedical sciences, with a broad view into new fundamental research problems that arise with every little discovery made in the aerospace field. We align with the current global trend of bringing valuable contributions, through research towards sustaining and improving life in space.
