Medical instrumentation and measurement form the first link in the chain connecting engineering to medicine. At this stage, flaws may lead to a myriad of repercussions at all levels, starting with the safety and efficacy of care. The importance of measurement in medical applications is growing continuously as increasingly sophisticated techniques become available for general, unsupervised use. The goal of this 8th edition of the MeMeA symposium is to present novel solutions to instrumentation and measurement problems encountered in modern health care.
