11th International Conference on Modelling and Measurement in Medicine and Biology is organized by Wessex Institute, Polytechnic University of Turin / Politecnico di Torino and will be held during Oct 23 - 25, 2018 at Balmer Lawn Hotel & Saltus Spa - Brockenhurst, New Forest, Hampshire, England, United Kingdom. Introduction This Conference is a well established and recognised forum for the dissemination of the latest research and applications in these important fields. This important conference started in Southampton in 1991, followed by a meeting in Bath (1993) and others in Milano (1995), Aquasparta (1997), Ljubljana (2003), Bologna (2005), the New Forest (2007), Crete (2009), Riga (2011) and Budapest (2013). The papers presented at these meetings are permanently archived in the WIT eLibrary (www.witpress.com/elibrary) where they are permanently and easily accessible to the international scientific community. Advances in medical and biological technology are transforming medical care and treatment; in great part, this is the result of the interaction and collaboration between medical sciences and engineering. This has resulted in substantial progress in health care and in the quality of life of the population. Computer models, in particular, have been increasingly successful in simulating biological phenomena. These are lending support to many applications, including cardiovascular systems, the study of orthopaedics and biomechanics and electrical simulation amongst others. The conference topics cover a broad spectrum including the simulation of biomedical problems, ranging from cardiovascular modelling to virtual reality and simulation in surgery. The Conference will also discuss the interaction and complementing aspects of computational methods and measurements, the main consideration and importance being their advantageous integration. Conference Topics : The following list covers some of the topics to be presented at BIOMED 2018. Papers on other topics related to the objectives of the conference are also welcome. • Biological tissues mechanics • Biofluid mechanics • Motion biomechanics • Orthopaedics biomechanics • Dental biomechanics • Cardiovascular system biomechanics • Sport biomechanics • Simulation in Physiology and Biology • Tissue engineering • Medical imaging • Bio-mimetics mechanics • Artificial intelligence • Data mining • Telemedicine Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
