Kim, Kwang Gi, Ph.D. Jang, Won Seuk, Ph.D. Park, Sung-Min, Ph.D. Yoo, Hongki, Ph.D.
On behalf of the Academic Committee of the Korean Society of Medical & Biological Engineering & International Biomeidical Engineering Committee 2021 (IBEC 2021), it is my great honor and pleasure to invite you to IBEC 2021 to be held from November 10 (Wed) to 12 (Fri), 2021 in Seoul, Korea.

The world is still going through an unprecedented period, with the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic thrusting everyone into an era of the New Normal. But thanks to the concerted efforts of everyone concerned, we have now entered a “distancing in daily life” phase whereby we may practice disease prevention while picking up on our economic and social activities and resuming our daily lives.

As such, IBEC 2021 will be held as an online congress whereby participants will be able to attend sessions on-line. Interaction is a key element in maintaining a strong bond between the members of our Biomedical Engineering community, and must continue to be fostered. Although we may not be able to see everyone face to face this time, we are preparing a rich program that participants can fully engage in and enjoy.

With the start of my presidency, IBEC proposed a new theme: “Digital Transformation in Healthcare” It seeks to emphasize the importance of taking patient-centered initiatives in the digital age in order to prepare for the future and strengthen our competitiveness.

In line with the above, the Academic Committee is designing the best possible program with high-quality scientific sessions that will provide a great opportunity for all participants to keep up-to-date with the latest research findings. With ISBEC Committee, We will organize a good program.
