Welcome Address from General Chair

We are honored to host the 17th International Convention on Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology (i-CREATe 2024) & the 1st World Rehabilitation Robot Convention (WRRC 2024). Our shared commitment to advancing assistive technologies underscores the significance of our collective efforts in enhancing the quality of life for the elderly and individuals with disabilities. This convention serves as a crucial platform for not only acknowledging the strides we have made but also for addressing the current challenges and charting the course for future developments in rehabilitation engineering and technology.

WRRC aims to create the first comprehensive global summit forum on rehabilitation robotics. The convention is dedicated to exploring the development of rehabilitation robotics technology and industry, which may inspire innovative breakthroughs in the field of neural rehabilitation and highlight the societal impact.

The theme of the conference is “Intelligent Technology Empowering the Future of Rehabilitation”, which calls for unified communication and collaboration across Asia and the entire world, fostering scientific innovation and propelling the development of the assistive products industry.

In the past few years, China has experienced a tremendous development in rehabilitation engineering and assistive technology. We welcome our friends and colleagues to join this glory event in shanghai, and to share the information and knowledge about the most recent development of assistive technology in China, and also from all over the world. Let’s work together to make i-CREATe 2024 & WRRC 2024 to be one of the most academically rich, culturally enjoyable conferences. Together, let us witness the transformational impact of intelligent technology on rehabilitation and explore the forefront of innovation in assistive products.

We extend our warmest invitation, and we look forward to welcoming you to Shanghai in Aug 2024.
