The 4th International Biomedical Instrumentation and Technology Conference (IBITeC) 2025 : “Advancing Innovation in Digital and Intelligent Systems”

The International Biomedical Instrumentation and Technology Conference (IBITeC) 2025 is the fourth conference organized by the Electrical Engineering Department, Faculty of Industrial Technology, Universitas Islam Indonesia. IBITeC 2025 is co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society Indonesia Chapter (IEEE ComSoc) and co-organized with the Center for BioMechanics, Bio-Materials, Bio Mechatronics, and Bio Signal Processing (CBIOM3S) of Diponegoro University, UNIDA Gontor, and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). IBITeC has established itself as a growing international platform for interdisciplinary research in biomedical engineering and intelligent healthcare systems, particularly in the integration of engineering and digital health technologies.

IBITeC 2025 was held under the theme “Advancing Energy Management, Telemonitoring, and Automation Systems with Artificial Intelligence to Enhance Next-Generation Healthcare Solutions.” This theme reflects the increasing role of artificial intelligence in modern healthcare systems, particularly in supporting telemonitoring and automation to improve the efficiency of next-generation healthcare services. The conference aimed to facilitate researchers, professionals, and students from around the world in sharing their research in the fields of Biomedical Engineering, Bioinformatics, Systems Biology, Medical Informatics, Fundamental Technologies Important to Medicine and Biology, as well as Communication and Digital Platforms. The scope of these topics highlights a multidisciplinary approach that integrates electrical engineering, computer science, and health sciences in developing technology-based medical solutions.

The conference was conducted in a hybrid format on November 13–14, 2025, in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, at the Faculty of Industrial Technology, Universitas Islam Indonesia. IBITeC 2025 featured four keynote speakers: Ir. Ts. Dr. Eileen Su Lee Ming from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia with the topic “Reinventing Healthcare: The Power of Digital Transformation”; Masahiro Osa from Ibaraki University, Japan, with the topic “Advances in magnetically levitated motor technology for next-generation pediatric implantable rotary blood pumps”; Achmad Arifin from Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember, Indonesia, with the topic “Intelligent Rehabilitation and Assistive Systems: A Route to Improved Quality of Life”; and Ir. Firdaus, S.T., M.T., Ph.D. from Universitas Islam Indonesia with the topic “Challenges and Enablers in Biomedical Technology Commercialization: Insights from Academic-Industry Collaboration”. These keynote speakers delivered global perspectives on recent advancements in biomedical engineering, artificial intelligence in healthcare, and the integration of intelligent systems into medical devices.

IBITeC 2025 featured a series of academic activities. On the first day, participants attended various technical sessions and paper presentations organized into parallel sessions, fostering in-depth discussions and the exchange of ideas among researchers and professionals. On the second day, a workshop titled “Simplifying AIoT Prototyping with Tinkercode was conducted and led by Dr. Mohd Afzan bin Othman. The workshop aimed to introduce participants to the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things through a hands-on session using the TinkerCode platform.

The successful organization of IBITeC 2025 further reinforces its role as an international platform for collaboration in biomedical engineering and health technology. Through the exchange of knowledge and research findings, IBITeC is expected to continue promoting sustainable innovation in the development of technology-driven healthcare solutions.
