She then focused on chronic wounds that fail to heal\, such as large\, de ep wounds and driveline exit sites. Her research addresses these with leaf -inspired channels engraved into a PEGDA hydrogel\, which spread fluid thr ough fast capillary flow rather than slow diffusion. She also covered the computational side\, including finite element modeling of wound closure an d boundary detection with active contours\, as well as how the hydrogel wa s fabricated\, laser-engraved\, and tested. The session closed with a look at personalized medicine\, AI-assisted diagnosis\, and accessible healthc are.\n\nIn line with the 2025-2030 IEEE Strategic Plan goal to Provide\, t he session highlighted the interdisciplinary collaboration between enginee ring\, biology\, and medicine that turns research into real patient impact .\n\n[] []\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/584557 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/584557 ORGANIZER:mohamedamin.abbassi@ieee.org SEQUENCE:8 SUMMARY:[IEEE Day] Biomedical Engineering: Where Technology Meets Healthcar e URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/584557 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p style="text-align: justify\;">As part of < span style="color: rgb(53\, 152\, 219)\;"><strong>"IEEE Day: Advancing Tec h For Us"</strong></span>\, <span style="color: rgb(132\, 63\, 161)\;"><st rong>IEEE EMBS ESPRIT SBC </strong></span>organized an online session in c ollaboration with <strong>King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals ( KFUPM) </strong>titled&nbsp\;<em>&ldquo\;Biomedical Engineering: Where Tec hnology Meets Healthcare&rdquo\;</em>\, highlighting the intersection of e ngineering and medicine and exploring how technological innovations contri bute to healthcare advancements and improved patient care.</p>\n<p dir="lt r" style="text-align: justify\;">The speaker\, Fatma Alzamel\, a PhD resea rcher and bioengineer\, began by framing the field as engineering tools ap plied to biology and medicine\, spanning wearable devices\, imaging and di agnostics\, biomaterials\, and AI-driven modeling.
