The 8th International Digital Human Modeling Symposium 2023 will be held from Monday 4 till Wednesday 6 September 2023 in Antwerp, Belgium.
The symposium is organized by the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Department of Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy, the Center for Health and Technology (CHaT) Institute of University of Antwerp and the Technical Committee of Digital Human Modelling and Simulation at International Ergonomics Association (IEA). The congress is sponsored by IEA, the Digital Human Modelling by Women (DHMW) group, the Instituto de Biomecánica de Valencia (IBV), Rehabilitation Hospital RevArte (Belgium) and Movella (NL).
 
	
 
	 
	 
	 
	 
	Scope
The DHM2023 provides an international forum for researchers to report their latest innovations, summarize state-of-the-art in the field, as well as exchange ideas, results, and visions in all fields of digital human modeling research and applications.
