CLAIB&CBEB 2022: IX Latin American Congress on Biomedical Engineering & XXVIII Brazilian Congress on Biomedical Engineering Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Federal University of Santa Catarina Florianópolis - SC, Brazil, October 24-28, 2022

CLAIB is a triennial event of the Regional Council of Biomedical Engineering for Latin America (CORAL), and the CBEB is a biannual event sponsored by the Brazilian Society of Biomedical Engineering (SBEB). Together, these two events create an opportunity for students, researchers, professionals, and other Biomedical Engineering scenarios to exchange knowledge and experiences in technological solutions for Health in Latin America and beyond. In the 2022 edition, CLAIB&CBEB 2022 is organized by a team of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (IEB-UFSC) of the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Florianópolis-Brazil, with the collaboration of the entire Biomedical Engineering community in Latin America.​
