From electronic health records to diagnostic tools to therapeutic, rehabilitative and regenerative treatments, the work of biomedical engineers is evident. Biomedical engineers work at the intersection of engineering, life sciences and healthcare. The engineers would use principles from applied science including mechanical, electrical, chemical and computer engineering together with physical sciences including physics, chemistry and mathematics to apply them to biology and medicine. Applying such concepts to the human body is very much the same concepts that go into building and programming a machine. The goal is to better understand, replace or fix a target system to ultimately improve the quality of healthcare. With this understanding, the conference proceedings offer a single platform for individuals and organisations working in the biomedical engineering related field to gather and network with each other in so doing create the catalyst for future development of biomedical engineering in Asia. 410 0$aIFMBE Proceedings,$x1433-9277 ;$v43 606 $aBiomedical engineering 606 $aBiomaterials 606 $aBiophysics 606 $aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering 606 $aBiomaterials 606 $aBiophysics 615 0$aBiomedical engineering. 615 0$aBiomaterials. 615 0$aBiophysics. 615 14$aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering. 615 24$aBiomaterials. 615 24$aBiophysics. 676 $a610.28 702 $aGoh$b J.
