IEEE International Workshop on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA 2010)

Medical instrumentation and measurement form the first link in the chain connecting engineering to medicine. At this stage, flaws may lead to a myriad of repercussions at all levels, starting with the safety and efficacy of care. The importance of measurement in medical applications is growing continuously as increasingly sophisticated techniques become available for general, unsupervised use.

The goal of this 5th edition of the MeMeA workshop is to present novel solutions to instrumentation and measurement problems encountered in modern health care. Main topics include:

- Sensors for medical systems;
- Sensor fusion and calibration;
- Embedded systems;
- Biosignal processing;
- Imaging and communication;
- Standards for medical applications.

Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts (3 pages) or draft papers reporting original research of theoretical or applied nature. The extended abstract should explain the significance of the contribution and list the key references. It must be prepared in English, according to the preparation guidelines available at the MeMeA 2010 website (http://memea.ieee-ims.org).

Extended abstracts will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee. Authors of accepted full-length papers, must register for the workshop and attend to present their papers. Authors of papers presented at this workshop will be allowed to submit expanded versions of their papers to the Special Issue of the IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation & Measurement on MeMeA 2010.
