EMBS Chapter

Past and Present

With more than one-fourth of its approximately 8,000 members residing 
outside of the United States, the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and 
Biology Society (EMBS) is the largest international society of 
Biomedical Engineers in terms of the number of individual members. 
EMBS has been serving the needs of Biomedical Engineers throughout 
the world since the early 1950's and through its leadership is 
striving to develop new ways to serve its members with workshops, 
publications, and distinguished lecture series.

Field of Interest

The field of interest of the Society is the application of the concepts 
and methods of the physical and engineering sciences in biology and 
medicine. This covers a very broad spectrum ranging from formalized 
mathematical theory through experimental science and technological 
development to practical clinical applications. It includes support 
of scientific, technological, and educational activities.
