Thank you for attending the 18th International Convention on Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology

(i-CREATe 2025)

 

To broaden the academic scope and encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, this year’s i-CREATe will include two special tracks:

The 3rd International Advanced Medical Robotics Symposium (iAMRS)

The 5th International Symposium on Biomedical Engineering (ISBME)

These are not separate events, but integrated academic tracks within i-CREATe 2025, aimed at expanding the range of topics and discussions in the fields of rehabilitation engineering, assistive technology, robotics, and biomedical engineering.

All submitted papers to the conference will undergo peer review. Upon acceptance and payment of the registration fee, the paper will be included in the conference proceedings and will be eligible for inclusion in IEEE Xplore (indexed in major academic databases), subject to presentation at the conference.

Welcome Address from General Chair

Dear Colleagues, Researchers, and Friends,

Welcome to the 18th International Convention on Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology (i-CREATe 2025), to be held in Bangkok, Thailand, at the Athenee Hotel.

I am Dr. Jackrit Suthakorn, from the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Center for Biomedical and Robotics Technology (BART LAB), Mahidol University, Thailand, and I am honored to serve as the General Chair. I am joined by Dr. Sarun Sumriddetchkajorn from NSTDA, Thailand, and Prof. Hongliu Yu from USST, China, as General Co-Chairs.

i-CREATe 2025 is co-organized by the Prince Sirindhorn IT Foundation, Mahidol University, NSTDA, and CREATe Asia, with technical sponsorship from IEEE, IEEE Thailand Section, and the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Thailand Chapter. All accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

To broaden the academic scope and encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, this year’s i-CREATe will include two special tracks:

The 3rd International Advanced Medical Robotics Symposium (iAMRS)

The 5th International Symposium on Biomedical Engineering (ISBME)

These are not separate events, but integrated academic tracks within i-CREATe 2025, aimed at expanding the range of topics and discussions in the fields of rehabilitation engineering, assistive technology, robotics, and biomedical engineering.

The program will feature:

  • Plenary and keynote talks
  • Paper presentations
  • The Global Student Innovation Challenge (gSIC)
  • An international exhibition
  • And more activities

We also invite you to enjoy Bangkok, one of the world’s top destinations for its rich culture, cuisine, and hospitality.

We look forward to welcoming you to i-CREATe 2025 and to your contributions in advancing rehabilitation and assistive technologies.

Welcome Address from General Co-Chairs

We are pleased to invite you to the 18th International Convention on Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology (i-CREATe 2025) which will be held during 24-26 November 2025 at The Athenee Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, in Bangkok, Thailand.

Into its 18th year, i-CREATe continues to provide an international platform of conference, Global Student Innovation Challenge, and exhibition featuring innovative technology, equipment, applications, techniques, and materials applied in the field of assistive technology and rehabilitative engineering.  It is also a stage for technical exchanges to share ideas and best practices in the disabilities field from across the countries.

This conference will include a range of workshops on the types of assistive technologies available for use in education and employment.  There will also be presentations by persons with disabilities using technologies in their daily lives, including education, training and employment.

We are very honored to have the presence of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn for the 17th consecutive year on 25 November 2025 in celebration of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn’s 70th Birthday Anniversary.

We extend our warmest invitation, and we look forward to welcoming you to Bangkok, Thailand in November 2025.

Welcome Address from General Co-Chairs

We are honored to extend our formal invitation to the 18th International Convention on Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology (i-CREATe 2025), to be held from 24 to 26 November 2025 at The Athenee Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand with great honor.

For eighteen years, i-CREATe has served as a global nexus of collaboration in rehabilitation engineering and assistive technology. This year’s convention will convene academic and industry leaders to explore cutting-edge advancements in medical robotics and biomedical engineering, highlighting transformative applications of AI-driven innovations and wearable technologies in enhancing the quality of life for individuals with disabilities.

Amidst the dynamic growth of rehabilitation initiatives across Asia, this convention stands as a pivotal milestone for fostering international cooperation and advancing inclusive technological solutions. We anticipate that the exchange of knowledge and interdisciplinary discourse will catalyze pioneering ideas, collectively shaping the future of accessible rehabilitation technology.

We cordially invite you to join this significant academic confluence. In November 2025, let us unite in Bangkok to jointly advance the next chapter of rehabilitation engineering and assistive technology.
