BME@LiU 2026, Monday 25 May, Linköping

Welcome to the 7th annual biomedical engineering conference!

BME@LiU is a day filled with activities related to the field of biomedical engineering (BME). From invited and contributed talks, to posters, exhibitions, and mingling. These activities reach out to all researchers, companies, organisations, students and clinicians who support, contribute to, or utilise BME technologies.

Biomedical Engineering, or MedTech, lies at the intersection of many of LiU's strength and strategic areas. It involves development of state-of-the-art technologies such as biosensors, medical imaging, AI, eHealth, visualization, with many applications in Life Sciences, for example circulatory and metabolic diseases, inflammation, neurological diseases and cancer.

The M4-HEALTH consortium meeting 2526 May 2026

Co-arranged with BME@LiU2026

The BME@LiU 2026 is co-arranged with a two-day consortium event for the M4-HEALTH excellence cluster, coordinated by Link繹ping University. This cluster deals with creation of an infrastructure for hybrid digital twins of patients, which are used as a binding kit for a new eco-system for health.

Monday 25 May the programme is with BME@LiU and deals with directly overlapping interests, i.e. new engineering methods of data gathering and harmonization, hybrid AI, modelling and LLMs, as well as eHealth applications in biomedicine and healthcare.

Tuesday 26 May deals with other non-healthcare applications, including e.g. defense, schools, food industry, etc.

If you want to join both days, i.e. also the M4-HEALTH specific event, sign up here:
