4th IEEE EMBS International Summer School
on Computer Modeling in Medicine

June 8-13, 2025, Charleston, SC, USA

Computer models play a significant role in the design and evaluation of medical devices and technologies, and are increasingly being used to enable personalized planning and delivery of device-based interventions. Prominent experts from academia and industry will provide an in depth view of fundamental concepts and current trends in model-based medical device design. This summer school will heavily incorporate hands-on modeling exercises with freeware and commercially available software to provide participants with an opportunity to implement the covered techniques.

This summer school is primarily geared towards graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and individuals from the medical device/imaging industry, with an interest in developing and applying computational models for medical device design, analysis, and evaluation.

Invited lecturers with extensive experience in the field will deliver lectures on topics including:

• Fundamentals of numerical modeling methods
• Device-tissue interactions: biomechanics, biofluids, bioheat transfer, drug delivery
• Image-based modeling for personalized medical device design
• Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning
• Industry panel: computational modeling in the medical device industry
