Sommario/riassunto

This book offers a timely snapshot of research, technologies and best practices in the broad area of bioengineering and clinical engineering. Contributions report on advances in biomedical signal processing, biosystem models and 3D printing applications, clinical engineering, and neuromuscolar system analysis and rehabilitation engineering. They also cover developments in bioengineering education. Gathering the second volume of the proceedings of the XXIV Argentinian Congress of Bioengineering (SABI 2023), held on October 3–6, 2023, in Buenos Aires, Argentina - and organised by the Sociedad Argentina de Bioingeniería, this book provides an extensive source of information for both researchers and professionals in biomedical and clinical engineering.
