Special Session 3
INNOVATIVE FRONTIERS IN BIOMECHANICS, BIOENGINEERING, AND HEALTH TECHNOLOGIES (SS3)

This Special Session focuses on the application of mechanical, biomedical, and physical principles in health technologies. Topics include medical devices, sensors, prosthetics, orthotic systems, advanced materials, 3D printing, AI, and innovative techniques such as generative design and topology optimization. The session aims to explore how these concepts are used to improve healthcare systems and develop advanced biomechanical solutions.

Topics:

• Bioengineering & Rehabilitation
• AI & Digital Health
• Biomechanics & Prosthetics
• 3D Printing & Smart Materials
• Nanotech, MEMS & Biosensors
• Surgical Tech & Medical Devices

Keywords:
