As early as 1965, a group of medical engineers headed by
Prof. G. Francini met to formally organise the Italian Electronic
Group applied to Medicine and Biology in affiliation to
the International Federation of Medical and Biological Engineering
(I.F.M.B.E.).
Later,
in 1967, the constitution of the Association was approved
with the name "Associazione Italiana di Ingegneria
Medica e Biologica" (A.I.I.M.B.). It had started with
76 members of medical engineers, physicist and physicians
all over Italy. At present it has about 200 limited members.
Its objective are scientific informative and educational
with the specific aims of encouraging researches, spreading
scientific information, applying knowledge and promoting
collaboration with other specific groups.
The
A.I.I.M.B. has two Working Groups formed since 1983:
- WG1 : Clinical Engineering (Chairman: Dr. Ing. Diego Bravar
- Trieste)
- WG2 : Biomechanics (Chairman: Prof. Tommaso Leo - Ancona)
The
A.I.I.M.B. has cooperation with different Italian association
such as:
- Gruppo Italiano di Ultrasonologia Vascolare - GIUV
- Società Italiana Reti Neuroniche
- Associazione Italiana di Fisica Biomedica - AIFB
- Sezione Italiana dell'International Society of Electrophysiological
Kinesiology - ISEK
The Association had participated and organised many scientific
activities and conferences.
