Welcome Message

Dear IFMBE and KOSOMBE members,

Although the continuing pandemic of COVID-19 seems to dominate our thinking and behavior, your academic enthusiasm and growth must be a great driving force to get over this situation.

IFMBE and KOSOMBE will jointly hold the 2021 Autumn Conference as the "Joint Conference of the International Biomedical Engineering Conference (IBEC2021) and the International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics (ICBHI2021)"

Yonsei University, which forms the organizing committee of this conference and prepares the event, started at "Gwanghyewon," the first modern hospital in Korea. It contributed greatly to the modernization of healthcare services and education and also biomedical engineering in Korea. I am pleased to prepare for this conference with the university that played a pivotal role in the establishment of our society, KOSOMBE.

'Digital Transformation in Healthcare' has been selected as the theme of this conference. Digital technology is leading the innovation in every healthcare technology sector, and we would like to identify what our roles are and how we can contribute to a prosperous future.

I hope that many members will participate in this conference and share our academic alliance and common interest as an academic community.
Sincerely,
Dongwook Kim
President of KOSOMBE
