Who will be presenting?
Biomechanical analysis with BoB (Biomechanics of Bodies)
Presenter: James Shippen, Director
The presentation will demonstrate the use of the BoB software in biomechanical analysis for teaching, learning and research.
BoB is a family of biomechanical modelling software packages combining a human musculoskeletal model with an easy to use, intuitive interface and powerful analysis functionality resulting in quantitative, objective information.
BoB is widely used in academia and industry with applications including product design, sporting performance, equipment design, man/machine interactions, vehicle design, gerontology, manual handling, ergonomics and many more.
The Impact of Engineering on Anatomy
Presenter: Giulia Rosellini, Academia Market Manager
The future of patient care lies in the mass personalization of treatments, driven by technologies such as advanced software, 3D printing, AI assistance, and AR guidance, together with shared knowledge and collaboration. In this landscape, the choice of anatomy becomes essential for producing impactful biomechanical research and meaningful innovations.
Tools like 3D virtual patients and statistical shape models are revolutionizing biomedical engineering, from studying joint kinematics and tissue mechanics to designing innovative devices and implants. By fostering collaboration between researchers, clinicians, and industry, we can bridge the gap between computational biomechanics and real-world clinical applications, accelerating the transformation of patient care.
