Welcome to Boston!
We cordially invite you to the 41st annual meeting of Computing in Cardiology which will be held in Cambridge, Massachusetts from Sunday, September 7th through Wednesday, September 10th, 2014. We are honored to host this important and active group of investigators from the physical sciences, engineering, computer science, medicine and physiology.

It has been the goal of Computing in Cardiology from its inception to encourage engineers and computer scientists to interact closely and productively with physiologists and clinicians. This meeting is designed to foster that goal. The social events and scientific sessions are organized to facilitate technical exchange and personal collaborations. Please make this your own personal goal as well while we are together!
The sponsoring institution for the meeting this year is the MIT’s Institute of Medical Engineering and Science (IMES), which shares the basic philosophy of Computing in Cardiology. IMES was established in July 2012, and serves as an integrative force across MIT, bringing together research and education efforts at the nexus of engineering, science, and clinical medicine to advance human health.
