DESCRIPTION
Biomedical Engineering has only recently emerged as its own discipline, compared to many other engineering fields. However, a biomedical engineer’s skill and knowledge to analyse and design solutions to problems in biology and medicine have proven to effectively help improve the quality and effectiveness of patient care. Consequently, biomedical engineering has become one of the fastest growing careers in the Middle East and this trend is expected to continue over the next decade. New in the Arab Health Congress 2015 portfolio is the Biomedical Engineering Forum which will take place on Wednesday, 28 January. For the first time, leaders of biomedical engineering, senior healthcare technology professionals and engineering educators in the region will gather to discuss the future of biomedicine, advanced technologies, policy-making, industry issues and trends and collaborate with colleagues who share a common goal of increasing the understanding of the discipline and the beneficial use of medical instrumentation. Biomedical leaders will focus on recent successes and failures, delivering insights into what the next strategic steps should be, from both medical R&D and commercial perspectives, to continue the drive for innovation. This forum enables biomedical engineering leaders to improve their effectiveness by providing this unique venue for sharing expertise, wisdom and experience in a collaborative and mutually beneficial context.
