MD&M Conference Tracks
This conference offers targeted information for engineers conceptualizing. designing, and manufacturing next-generation medical devices. They'll come away with solutions to problems they face in their jobs every day, along with inspiration to spur future innovations. MD&M offers four distinct conference tracks:
Track A: Regulations, Research & Development
Keeping current with medical regulations is an essential part of the research and design process. The challenge is to develop creative designs that meet regulation requirements and at the same time take advantage of the newest material choices and innovative design methods. This track will look at ways to meet the latest medical device design challenges while also speeding the design process.
Track B: Medical Device Design & Manufacturing
Medical design and manufacturing requires an emphasis on quality from start to finish, while also implementing the latest best practices for design efficiency and production speed. This track will cover how to meet the tight medical quality assurance and quality control requirements, make use of the latest design and materials innovations, and manage risk to efficiently produce the most reliable devices.
Track C: Medtech Security, UI/UX, and Digital Transformations
Medical equipment must function extremely accurately, be usable in many situations by a wide variety of people, and make use of the latest data management tools. Strict guidelines for patient information security must be met. This track will cover the interaction of medical equipment with safety, security, and data regulations.
Track D: Innovation in Medical Design & Engineering
Challenge drives innovation, bringing about novel new ways of accelerating medical design and production for a wide variety of essential equipment. This track will focus on the latest advancements in medical design and engineering and how those can best be used in future development. Also explored will be what can be learned from the rapid development accomplished to battle the coronavirus and how can that information be used in future planning?
