Together, we remain united by a shared purpose: driving global excellence in health technology and empowering the professionals who make safer, smarter healthcare possible.
Highlights
Meet our 2025 Project :
The informational world of healthcare services, technology, and professional practice that we are immersed in is overwhelmingly complex and fast-changing. There is an increasing need for real-time, peer-to-peer discussions and consultations that go beyond what we can cover in short WhatsApp chats, educational webinars, bi-annual conferences, or journal articles that are locked behind expensive pay-walls. Artificial Intelligence and social media are amplifying the possibilities for both positive and negative outcomes from uncertain information sources that appear on a daily basis.
The IFMBE – Clinical Engineering Division is happy to announce the first satege of the Clinical and Biomedical Engineers Working Groups. We will be offering Zoom meetings for 12 Working Groups that will encompass a broad range of professional interests and concerns. Each session will be 60 minutes long and will be scheduled to provide maximum access for a global audience. The meeting agendas will be set by the group members to reflect their needs and interests.
Consider joining one or more working groups that align with your interests. By committing to attend the scheduled meetings, you will not only enhance your understanding of the topics discussed but also contribute to the collaborative efforts of the group. Active participation is essential for the development of these groups, as your insights and engagement will help foster a dynamic and productive environment. Embrace this opportunity to connect with others, share ideas, and work together towards common goals.
Working Groups for Clinical Engineering
- Each Working Group will have its own Dropbox folder to store agendas, notes, and meeting recordings.
- If you’re an experienced facilitator and are interested in facilitating one of the groups, please notify Fabiola Martinez at [email protected] or Fred Hosea at [email protected]
- At the end of the 3-month experiment, we’ll evaluate the relevance and usefulness of the groups and make recommended adjustments to make sure they serve our professional goals and interests.
- You can express your interest in the project by filling in the following survey
Moving Forward: the WICE Survey
We are excited to announce the release of the Women in Clinical Engineering (WICE) survey, a vital initiative aimed at understanding the experiences and challenges women face in clinical engineering. This survey seeks to gather insights that will help us identify areas of growth, support, and opportunity for women professionals in this dynamic industry. We warmly invite all women in clinical engineering, as well as allies and advocates, to participate in this important survey. Your voice matters, and your input will play a crucial role in shaping the future of our profession. Together, we can foster a more inclusive and supportive environment for all. Please take your time to share your experiences and perspectives by participating in the survey. Thank you for your contribution to this essential dialogue!

The WICE Project
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Women in Clinical Engineering (WICE) Project page, dedicated to celebrating the remarkable achievements and contributions of women in the field of clinical engineering.
The WICE Project aims to showcase the diverse experiences, challenges, and triumphs of women who have made significant impacts in healthcare technology and engineering. Through this platform, we strive to inspire the next generation of female engineers and healthcare professionals, fostering a more inclusive future in the industry.
As part of this exciting endeavor, we are proud to present the release of “Stories of WICE” a captivating collection of narratives that highlight the journeys and accomplishments of women across various roles in clinical engineering. This book features a series of inspiring stories, each sharing the unique perspectives and the passion that drives our work. We encourage everyone to visit the WICE Project website to explore the stories, connect with the community, and learn more about the initiatives and resources available.
Join us in celebrating the achievements of women in this vital field and help us create a more diverse and inclusive future in healthcare technology. Together, we can inspire the next generation of female engineers and drive meaningful change. VISIT OUR PAGE.
