SMC 2016 Special Session on Medical Mechatronics

Medical mechatronics is an important engineering topic in the 21 century. Developments of medical mechatronic systems needs the integration of technologies within the medical domain knowledge, clinical operation protocol, artificial intelligence, software engineering, network and information technology, electric control system design and mechanical system design. Therefore, the medical mechatronics is discussed based on the systematic system design, healthcare, and cybernetic intelligence applications. The “medical mechatronics” special session presents the papers within new and important technologies that were developed in the medical applications. Hence, the “emerging technologies in medical mechatronics” special session fits the theme of the SMC conference. This special session will focus on the emerging technologies of medical mechatronics systems through case studies and reports on clinical applications.
