The 8th European Medical and Biological Engineering Conference (EMBEC), to be held in Portorož, Slovenia (29 Nov-3 Dec, 2020), was unfortunately cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the conference, MyWAVE members (Emily Porter and Adam Santorelli) had organized a convened session called “Electromagnetic-based thermal medical therapies, monitoring and imaging (MyWAVE COST Action).” While the session was cancelled along with the conference, the submitted papers and abstracts have been published and are available here: https://www.embec2020.org/publications/
The papers published were the following:
