The Fourth Symposium on Industrial-based Biomedical Engineering Research

The fourth Symposium on Industrial-based Biomedical Engineering Research (SIBER) returns this year, focusing on applying research and technology for societal good and delivering real impact to industry. This forum brings together researchers, industry leaders, and academics to showcase how innovative biomedical engineering solutions translate into practical healthcare applications. Attendees will explore emerging technologies, real-world implementations, and industry-driven research addressing current healthcare challenges. The symposium highlights collaboration and translational impact at the intersection of engineering, medicine, and industry.

The symposium will offer a national technical forum for experts from industry and academia to exchange ideas and present ongoing research results in cutting-edge biomedical engineering fields such as:

• Biomedical
• Bioengineering
• Health tech transition to a real-industry setting
• Wearable health monitoring
• Medical imaging and diagnostics
• Digital health
• AI and machine learning in healthcare
• Clinical engineering and healthcare technology management
• Bio mechanics and bio materials
• Telemedicine and mobile health
• Industry-academic collaboration in biomedical innovation

The symposium is hosted by the Institute of Biomedical Technologies (IBTec) at AUT and sponsored by the EMBS Chapter-IEEE New Zealand North Section.
