Organizer: Zbigniew Paszenda (Poland)

Description:

During the special session, the results of research related to the production of thin layers on the surface of implants with dedicated applications using electrochemical and vacuum technologies will be presented. In addition, issues related to the assessment of the usefulness of robots in supporting physiotherapists in rehabilitation procedures, as well as reducing the mental workload of their operators, will be discussed.

Organizer: Gerard Cybulski (Poland)

Description:

The session is devoted to the widely understood methods of automatic analysis of signals. Preferably, the signals should be acquired using non-invasive methods for short, laboratory (clinic) or long, ambulatory monitoring of cardiovascular or respiratory systems. Proposed papers should describe the methods or physiological responses to the tests which might help to bring new information of physiological or clinical meaning in understanding of the function of cardiovascular or respiratory or autonomic nervous system.

Organizers: Elżbieta Pamuła, Patrycja Domalik-Pyzik (Poland)
