Call for Paper
The Inaugural
international Convention for Rehabilitative
Engineering & Assistive Technology (i-CREATe 2007)
23 - 26 April 2007, Singapore
Dear Distinguished Colleague,
The international Conference for Rehabilitation Engineering & Assistive
Technology (i-CREATe) is jointly organized by
the Thailand’s National Electronics and Computer Technology Centre
(NECTEC) and the Singapore Therapeutic, Assistive &
Rehabilitative Technologies (START) Centre .
This conference addresses current and future developments in the areas of
Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology. Topic areas include, but
not limited to:

products
* Assistive robotics, rehabilitative & therapeutic robotics, robotic
environments and companions
* Biomedical devices and instruments
* Orthoses, exoskeletons, innovative mobility aids
* User interfaces, brain-computer interface, bio-signal control interface
* AAC products, studies & evaluations, translations
* Universal design, inclusive housing & work place, transportation,
accessibility issues
* Smart home technology, environment control technology
* Computer access products, software, studies & evaluations
* Product development, commercialization, start-ups, and business
related topics
* Social issues, policies, political issues related disability and
