Biomedical Engineering Online is happy to introduce our latest collection, in association with the International Conference on Aging, Innovation and Rehabilitation (ICAIR). ICAIR is an interdisciplinary event that brings together leading researchers, scientists, and entrepreneurs who are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals who face challenges related to ageing and disability. The conference is jointly hosted by The KITE Research Institute | Toronto Rehabilitation Institute – University Health Network and the Rehabilitation Sciences Institute at the University of Toronto, with contributions and participation from other clinical and research institutions and hospitals.

Abstracts submitted to the conference undergo peer review and are selected for poster and/or podium presentations. A small subset of the abstracts, which receive the highest review scores, are invited to submit a full-length journal paper for publication at the BioMedical Engineering OnLine journal. These submissions will undergo standard peer-review process at the journal and, if accepted, will be published in a special issue of the journal co-edited by KITE Senior Scientist Dr. Babak Taati and KITE Senior Scientist and Institute Director Dr. Milos R. Popovic.
