Highlighting Themes from the Hellenic Biomedical & Nanotechnology 2025 Joint Conferences

The research and academic ecosystem of biomedical and healthcare technology in Greece – one that includes a variety of scientific disciplines consisting of biomedical engineers, clinical engineers, medical physicists, nanotechnologists and technology-oriented clinicians to name but a few – for the past several years has been steadily improving the output and quality of its scientific achievements, has been strengthening its internal collaborations and international outreach, and has been consolidating its efforts to organize scientific events of high caliber. For the first time in 2025, the flagship biannual 11th Panhellenic Conference on Biomedical Technology (ELEVIT2025) was organized in parallel with the 2nd Panhellenic Conference of Natural Sciences in Health (HSnanoHS2025), under the auspices of Hellenic Societies of Biomedical Technology, of Nanomedicine in Health Sciences and of Medical Physicists. The result was the largest and most successful scientific event, so far, of the Hellenic biomedical and healthcare technology ecosystem. As a continuation of these efforts, the hellenic community claimed and managed to secure the organization of the IUPESM World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering of 2031 in Athens, Greece.

The goal of this Research Topic is to highlight the scientific, technical, networking and organizational advancements of the Hellenic biomedical and healthcare technology ecosystem of the past few years in the context of a European and International interconnected research space. Those advancements were crystallized in the co-operation of our relevant societies that lead to the successful organization of a joint conference, as well as the successful appointment of WC2031 organization to Greece. These advancements are also reflected in the various research themes tackled by the Hellenic community, though its cooperation with European and International collaborators, and they form the bases for future achievements in the fields of biomedical engineering.

Suitable themes for manuscripts include (but are not limited to):

• Innovation in healthcare & AI in health.
• Personalized healthcare, precision medicine & pharmaceutical innovation and discovery.
• Radiation dosimetry & cutting-edge technologies in cancer treatment.
• Biomedical modelling & bioinformatics.
• Biosensors, biomechanics & biomaterials.
• 3d printing, microtechnology & nanotechnology.
• Biomedical signal processing.
• Medical imaging & radiomics.
• Digital healthy, e-health, m-health, digital patients & digital twins.
• Health technology assessment medical equipment inventory, medical information systems.
• Biomedical and medical physics education.

Both Conferences can be accessed from https://www.elevit.org.gr/events/synedria/11o-panellinio-synedrio-bioiatrikis-tehnologias and https://hsnanohs.eu respectively.
