35th Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements - CPEM 2026, Madrid (Spain). 06-11 September 2026
Summary:
Ensuring reliable performance of critical medical electrical equipment requires regular calibration, yet the devices such as electrocardiographs (ECG), electroencephalographs (EEG), electrosurgical units (ESU), and defibrillators still lack of compatible measurement methods and robust metrological traceability. Medical electrical signals variability, strongly affected by factors like bioimpedance, further challenges accurate evaluation. To tackle these issues, the EPM EURAMET 25HLT08 Met4MED project aims at developing novel metrology to provide improved traceability in this field. The project will also create a metrological framework utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the accuracy of key parameters in medical equipment, while adopting an open-source approach to maximize its impact.
Spanish layman's summary:
Met4MED desarrolla nueva metrología para ECG, EEG, desfibriladores y unidades electroquirúrgicas, mejorando la calibración, los métodos de medida y la trazabilidad. Mediante IA y herramientas de código abierto, aborda la variabilidad asociada a la bioimpedancia para aumentar la precisión y fiabilidad de los equipos médicos eléctricos.
