The IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference (EMBC) is one of the
most established and prestigious international conferences in biomedical engineering.
It is the annual flagship conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS), part of IEEE—the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity.

For decades, EMBC has served as a global forum bringing together researchers, clinicians, engineers, regulators, and industry leaders to present peer-reviewed research, exchange ideas, and shape the future of healthcare technology. Its prestige stems from its long history, rigorous review standards, strong IEEE governance, and its role as a central meeting point for the worldwide biomedical engineering community.

EMBC covers a broad and interdisciplinary range of topics, reflecting the full spectrum of modern biomedical engineering, from fundamental signal and image processing to wearable systems, neural engineering, biomedical informatics, and technologies aimed at improving health equity and societal impact.

Conference themes include:

  • Biomedical Signal Processing
