Lecture Notes in Bioengineering

This book focuses on the dynamic process of aging and on interventions to support the development of older and integrated societies, from a multidisciplinary point of view.  Gathering contributions from researchers and professionals with different backgrounds, including social and health sciences, education, engineering and IT, biology, geography and environmental science, it aims at understanding the phenomenon of population aging, in order to contribute to the development of future functional communities, fostering well-being and autonomy of the elderly, their integration and participation. Based on the proceedings of the 2nd International Congress Age.Comm Longevity and Development, organised online on November 11-12, 2021, from Castelo Branco, Portugal, this book addresses a wide range of specialists dealing with the process of aging, integration and community development in the societies of the future. 

This book presents peer-reviewed contributions from the MICCAI 2023 Computational Biomechanics for Medicine CBM XVIII Workshop held in conjunction with the 26th International MICCAI Conference. The content focuses on applications of computational biomechanics to computer-integrated medicine, which includes medical image computing, application of machine learning in image analysis and biomechanics, atlas based biomechanical simulations, novel algorithms of computational biomechanics and experimental methods for analysis of disease and injury mechanisms. 

The book details state-of-the-art progress in the above fields to researchers, students, and professionals.

This book offers multidisciplinary perspective on the dynamic process of aging proposing strategies for developing more functional ageing societies. Gathering revised and expanded papers presented at the 3rd Congress of the Interdisciplinary Research Unit “On Building Functional Ageing Communities” , organized by the Polytechnic Institute of Castelo Branco, this book addresses the multidimensional aspects of sustainability in aging, exploring the environmental, health, social, economic, political, and cultural dimensions. Each chapter presents new perspectives that should help to understand the phenomenon of population aging in the context of sustainability and contribute to the promotion of Active and Healthy Aging that is also Sustainable. This book is aimed at a wide range of professionals concerned with aging and sustainability and the and the development of more sustainable and functional societies.
