Scope
The flagship EMBS conference, themed on translating healthcare innovation from labs to industry, accepts 4+1 page full contributed papers (deadline 24 January 2027) and 1-page research poster papers (deadline 23 April 2027).
Submission types
Abstracts and full papers; confirm formats and word limits on the official page

Topics consistent with the programme

  • Biomedical sensors, wearable devices and physiological signal acquisition
  • Biomedical signal and image processing for diagnosis and monitoring
  • Neural engineering, neurotechnology and brain–computer interfaces
  • Medical robotics, rehabilitation engineering and assistive technologies
  • Machine learning and health informatics for clinical decision support
  • Regulatory, validation and commercial pathways for medical technology translation

Based on the published scope; the official page sets out the full themes and requirements.

Is your work a fit? Check before you submit

  1. The work makes an engineering or computational contribution to medicine or biology.
  2. The submission type matches the content: a full paper within the 4+1 page format or a one-page poster paper.
  3. Validation uses appropriate data, experiments or clinical testing, with limitations stated.
  4. Human or animal studies have the necessary ethical approval and this is reported.
  5. A complete, co-author-approved paper is submitted before the relevant deadline: 24 January 2027 for full papers or 23 April 2027 for poster papers.

Why This Conference Matters

Biomedical engineering increasingly determines how conditions are detected, monitored and treated, yet many promising devices and algorithms never move beyond the laboratory. EMBC’s 2027 theme on translation from labs to industry reflects this gap and invites work that considers validation, usability and adoption alongside technical performance. As the society’s flagship meeting, EMBC brings together engineers, clinicians and industry researchers across the full breadth of the field, offering authors a broad audience and a published record of their work.

Who Should Submit

Academic backgrounds

  • Biomedical and electrical engineering
  • Signal and image processing
  • Neural and rehabilitation engineering
  • Health informatics and machine learning
  • Clinical medicine and medical physics

Institutions and sectors

  • Universities and engineering research institutes
  • Medical device and health technology companies
  • Teaching hospitals and clinical research units
  • Government and translational research laboratories

What Reviewers Typically Value

  1. Engineering methods validated on realistic clinical or physiological data rather than simulation alone.
  2. Devices or algorithms with a clear account of the path towards clinical use or industrial adoption.
  3. Reproducible methods with enough detail for others to implement and compare.
  4. Interdisciplinary work that combines engineering advances with clinical insight.

Ideas You Could Develop

Wearable arrhythmia detectionA full paper describing a low-power wearable ECG system and its classification performance on annotated clinical recordings.
Usability of a rehabilitation deviceA poster paper reporting early usability testing of a robotic rehabilitation device with patients and therapists.
From prototype to productA paper analysing the validation and regulatory steps taken to move a sensing prototype towards a clinical study.

Your Plan to the Deadline

A suggested schedule working back from 24 January 2027. Adjust it to the stage your work has reached.

  1. By 13 Dec 2026

    Open the official call for abstracts; confirm the tracks, word limit, format and author rules.

  2. By 27 Dec 2026

    Agree the key result, the authors and the presenting author.

  3. By 10 Jan 2027

    Draft the structured abstract to the word limit, with results stated as numbers.

  4. By 17 Jan 2027

    Circulate to co-authors and an independent reader; revise.

  5. By 22 Jan 2027

    Final checks: title, author affiliations, conflicts of interest and track selection.

  6. By 24 Jan 2027

    Submit through the official abstract system before the deadline.

What you gain

  • Feedback from peers working on the same questions.
  • A citable abstract or proceedings paper.
  • Contacts for collaboration, employment and future funding.
  • A step towards a full journal article.

What happens after you submit

  1. Acknowledgement: the abstract system confirms receipt; keep the submission number.
  2. Review: the scientific committee scores abstracts against the track criteria.
  3. Decision: accepted abstracts are assigned to an oral, poster or e-poster session.
  4. Registration: presenting authors usually must register by a stated date.
  5. Publication: accepted abstracts or papers may appear in the conference proceedings or journal supplement.

What the Organisers Are Looking For

The organisers are looking for contributions across biomedical engineering, with a 2027 emphasis on translating healthcare innovation from laboratories to industry. Full contributed papers suit mature, validated work, while one-page research poster papers suit early results and ongoing projects. Submissions that report clear methods, credible validation and relevance to clinical or industrial use are likely to fit well. Authors should confirm track details, formatting and publication arrangements in the official author guidelines.
