The Biomedical Engineering is the branch of engineering that aims at the development and application of technologies for the area of health.

In order to promote and consolidate this area of knowledge in Brazil, was founded in 1974 the Brazilian Society of Biomedical Engineering SBEB held biennially that the Brazilian Congress of Biomedical Engineering CBEB. The XXI edition of CBEB will be held in Salvador, Bahia in the period from 16 to Nov. 19, 2008.

The great challenge of Biomedical Engineering in Brazil is known to produce quality incorporating areas of Technology and Health in the near future so that Brazil can be a country producer and exporter of these same technologies, strengthening the domestic industry and at the same time, contributing to that health services can offer better service to citizens.

To strengthen ties between the biomedical engineering and health, The CBEB'2008 will be on the Biomedical Engineering Engineering Health.

XXI Congress of Biomedical Engineering

The Congress of Biomedical Engineering CBEB may occur both in partnership with other scientific societies of events related to isolation, a fact that was repeated in 13 thirteen editions. The editions of 1992 1994, 1996 and 1998 were members of the National Forum of Science and Technology in Health I, II, III and IV FNCTS, organized in partnership with the Brazilian Association of Physicists in Medicine and the Brazilian Society of Information Technology in Health in 2004 , When Brazil hosted the Third Latin American Congress of Biomedical Engineering, the event counted with the partnership of CORAL Regional Council of Biomedical Engineering for Latin America, and in 2006 occurred in conjunction with the II Brazilian Congress of Clinical Engineering, the Brazilian Association Engineering Clinic ABCLIN.

OBJECTIVE

The goal of Congress is to provide opportunities for researchers, professionals and managers of the areas of health and engineering, as well as students can disclose, discuss, share experiences and learn about the main aspects of application of knowledge to the area of Engineering For Health both, is the unique feature of the area of Biomedical Engineering, the interdisciplinary, to guide the entire design and development of this event.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Among the participants will CBEB'2008 teachers and / or experts from public institutions and private Latin American, students in graduate and postgraduate studies in several South American countries, technical staff and professionals Brazilians, as well as state and local authorities the area of Health and entrepreneurs interested in discussing issues associated with Biomedical Engineering.
