Welcome to the Southeastern Michigan Chapter of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Chapter.
We are a local chapter of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.
Your global connection to the world of biomedical engineering.
IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) is the world's largest international society of
Biomedical Engineers. With more than 46 percent of its 8,200 members residing in some 70 countries
around the world, it's a true global connection, bringing you access to the most fascinating people,
practices, information, ideas, opinion, and fellowship from one of science's fasting growing fields.
Who We Are
IEEE EMBS members come from everywhere and every walk of life. They work in industry, academic
institutions, hospitals, and government agencies. They design the electrical circuits that make a
pacemaker run...create the software that reads an MRI...and help develop the wireless technologies that
allow patients and doctors to communicate over long distances. They're interested in bioinformatics,
biotechnology, clinical engineering, information technology, instrumentation and measurement, micro and
nanotechnology, radiology, and robots. They are researchers and educators, technicians and clinicians;
they are the link between science and life science; and they help the modern world work.
From formalized mathematical theory through experimental science, from technological development to
practical clinical applications, IEEE EMBS members support scientific, technological, and educational
activities as they apply to the concepts and methods of the physical and engineering sciences in
biology and medicine. By working together, we can transform and revolutionize future medicine and
healthcare.
We host
technical meetings of interest to local management and technical professionals. This is one of several dozen IEEE societies.
