IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBS)

IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBS) EMBS, the world’s largest society of biomedical engineers, is dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity.
(1)

IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) is the world's largest international society of biomedical engineers. The organization's 12,000+ members reside in some 97 countries around the world. EMBS provides its members with access to the people, practices, information, ideas and opinions that are shaping one of the fastest growing fields in science. EMBS members come from everywhere

and every walk of life. They work in industry, academic institutions, hospitals, entrepreneurs 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; Biomedical Engineers are the link between science and life science creating innovations in healthcare technology for the benefit of all. From formalized mathematical theory through experimental science, from technological development to practical clinical applications, 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 transform and revolutionize future medicine and healthcare. EMBS members engineer healthcare solutions from bench to bedside.

Advancing the future of wearable robotics and rehabilitation engineering.

A new study published in the IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE) investigates how hybrid exosuit assistance affects neuromuscular coordination during prolonged endurance-type activities.

By analyzing muscle synergies and functional muscle networks during treadmill walking with and without a hybrid exosuit, researchers explored whether wearable robotic devices simply reduce muscle activity or also influence the neural organization behind movement.

The findings show that hybrid exosuit assistance can produce specific, interpretable adjustments in coordination patterns while preserving the overall organization of motor control - an important step toward smarter assistive technologies.

Ever wondered if changing the way you see your body could change the way you move? 👣

A new IEEE TNSRE study explored whether experiencing a foot-elongated avatar through virtual self-touch could influence how people step over obstacles.

The results? Participants not only felt a stronger connection to their virtual avatar but also lifted their feet higher when crossing a 30 cm obstacle - suggesting that integrating a virtual body into our perception can influence real-world movement.

As virtual reality continues to evolve, research like this could have exciting implications for rehabilitation, motor learning, and human-computer interaction.
