About IEEE EMBS MSRIT Chapter
The IEEE EMB Student Chapter of M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology has been initiated to bring together students working in the varied domains relevant to Medical Science and Technology aspire to ameliorate the status of Biomedical Engineering, make the Biomedical Engineering students, cognizant of the scopes of this multidisciplinary field and effectuate a sense of professionalism in
them. This is the place where students can apply their electronics, electrical, computer or design skills in Medical field and improve healthcare technology. Our goal is to provide students with a platform through which they can interact with clinicians and take up engineering projects in community services that will address the real problems in healthcare domain.
