Abstract :
This paper promotes the use of numerical methods as an alternative tool in order to evaluate and manage electromagnetic compatibility in health care facilities. Numerical analysis is performed employing the transmission line modeling (TLM) method and kriging, which are supported by measurement tests, providing a reliable assessment of the electromagnetic profile established in clinical environments.
