BIOMEDevice San Jose has announced its 2019 show focus on digital health solutions and related technologies.
Throughout the two-day event, a series of sessions, presentations, panels, and case studies will be presented, addressing healthcare’s growing convergence with digital technologies, how to accelerate these product’s speed-to-market, and finding the resources to scale. With the spotlight on digital health technologies including artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, wearables, and much more, attendees will have the opportunity to learn from and network with the leading minds driving meaningful advancements in healthcare.
The global digital health market is forecasted to be valued at $509.2 billion by 2025 according to Grand View Research. Supporting this impressive growth, BIOMEDevice San Jose seeks to foster digital health innovation by connecting thought leaders in the digital health space today with over 250 prominent exhibiting companies. Attendees will have access to representatives from Microsoft, Onyx, Samtec, Vision Components, Zimmer & Peacock, among many more.
Today, digital health plays a foundational role in improving the performance of minimally invasive surgery. HMDmd CEO John R. Lyon and his co-founder will present their latest developmental pathway in creating a medical grade wearable display for surgery and interventional medicine at BIOMEDevice San Jose. The HMDmd wearable display aims to enable a response to two important additional demands that is the necessity to significantly enhance for the surgeon the ergonomics of performing minimally invasive surgery and to provide critical decision support data during the case in real time and presented on the display screen in a "heads-up" format.
Lyon said: “BIOMEDevice San Jose supports this rapidly transforming industry, providing a platform for today’s leading digital health innovators to make rapid progress towards significant improvement in patient care and treatment. As surgeons and interventional physicians seek to provide the most effective treatments for their patients, digital developments in visualisation, such as HMDmd's next-generation wearable display, help enable a higher level of precision minimally invasive and robotic surgery.”
BIOMEDevice San Jose 2019 Digital Health Content Includes:
Digital health: Beyond the worried well (keynote panel)
In this session, a panel from Microsoft, Verily, AT&T, and more will engage in a discussion of digital health devices for healthcare.
How wearable devices are changing the game in healthcare (presentation)
The presentation will also explore how 5G technology will support wearables and how the miniaturisation of electronics is enabling design of more reliable and adaptable wearables.
Developing a wearable display for surgeons (live demonstration)
Working closely with surgeons, HMDmd. CEO John R. Lyon and senior vice president Allen Newman developed a medical-grade head-mounted wearable display that uses 3D and high-resolution OLEDs to improve visualisation and ergonomics for surgeons during surgery. Both Lyon and Newman will take a deep dive into their development journey, clinical utilisation, and live demo of the display.
The growing artificial intelligence application across medical devices (panel)
In this session, panellists will gauge the potential of AI for medical devices and discuss the ways in which AI stands to change the healthcare landscape and what medtech companies will need to do to adapt. Topics covered include specific AI applications in radiology, surgical robotics, chronic disease, drug discovery, and neurological disorders, challenges AI presents for patients, doctors, payers, and other stakeholders, and the ways AI can impact patient behaviour experience.
How sensors support the wearables revolution (panel)
Panelists will highlight how sensors are advancing IoT applications and in turn wearable devices, types of sensors for in-home monitoring, and the types of sensors relevant for smart drug technologies.
BIOMEDevice San Jose will take place December 4 and 5 at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, CA.
