About IEEE EMBS

IEEE EMBS is the world’s largest international society of biomedical engineers. The organization’s 10,000 members reside in some 97 countries around the world. EMBS provides its members with access to people, practices, information, ideas and opinions that are shaping one of the fastest growing fields in science.

Our members design the electrical circuits that make a pacemaker run, create the software that reads a magnetic resonance image (MRI) and help develop the wireless technologies that allow patients and doctors to communicate over long distances. Our members are interested in bioinformatics, biotechnology, biomechanics, clinical engineering, information technology, instrumentation and measurement, micro and nanotechnology, radiology, and robots. They are researchers and educators, technicians and clinicians – biomedical engineers are the link between science and life science, creating innovations in healthcare technology for the benefit of all humanity.

IEEE EMBS Hosts Inaugural Women in Biomedical Engineering Forum in Sydney to Promote Diversity and Inclusion Across the STEM Fields. In addition, IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) host several events. IEEE (WIE) is the largest international professional organization dedicated to promoting women engineers and scientists.

“In the United States we suffer from a lifestyle that absorbs too much of Earth’s resources within a rampant culture of affluenza. Searching for innovative strategies to help solve our current eco-crisis is vital to human survival.“
