We're building a different DeviceTalks West, focusing on critical technologies and #therapeutic classes. I wrote all about it in Medical Design & Outsourcing, but I'll share the article, bit by bit. Our first area of focus..... Connected health Medical devices will need to understand how to communicate with patients, physicians and each other. To explore this, we’ll have keynote interviews with Baxter International Inc. EVP and Medical Product and Therapies President Heather Knight and Stryker Medsurg and Neurotechnology President Andy Pierce explaining how connected tools are built into new product releases. We’ll also have leaders from Biolinq, NVIDIA, Philips, SOVATO and others revealing their use of connected technologies. https://lnkd.in/epqkH_EX

What are some factors that should be considered with connecting medical devices in the hospital environment and why is the focus on connectivity is so important for the future of healthcare? William Betten, Director of Medtech Solutions at S3 Connected Health sits down with Tom Salemi to discuss strategies for enabling connectivity and considerations for the move of such devices to the home.

The demand for high-performance gears is skyrocketing as cutting-edge medical technologies like robotic-assisted and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) systems, drug-delivery devices, and wearables continue to evolve at a rapid pace. Design engineers are under intense pressure to push the envelope on product performance while keeping cost in check and improving speed to market. The smart move? Spec'ing in plastic gears—or better yet, converting metal gears to plastic. This savvy switch not only meets but often exceeds performance benchmarks, all while keeping costs in check. Gears are notoriously difficult to design and manufacture, but the game is changing. In this webinar Ray Scherer, Global Engineering Manager at Aptyx and Mike Jacquemin, Engineering/Tooling Manager at Aptyx, will dive into the latest breakthroughs that make the shift to plastic gears not just possible but advantageous. We’ll explore the big wins you can achieve with this conversion and the critical design factors you need to nail down—whether you’re updating a legacy product or crafting something entirely new.

DeviceTalks West and the co-located event #RoboBiz2024 will be filled with cutting edge and #innovative technology that makes it feel like we are living in the future. There will also be technologies featured that seem like they're not just a part of the future but straight out of science fiction - like the Endiatx PillBot?. But what goes into creating this kind of technology? A lot of engineering from various perspectives. During the #DTWest2024 session "Biomedical Engineering at the Extreme Limits: Endiatx Panel and Q&A," led by Endiatx Chief Engineer Quentin C., hear all about the insights and challenges that engineers have undergone to develop micro-robotics technology. You'll walk away with a better understanding of the technical and creative efforts that drive transformation in the #medicaldiagnostics space. Want in? Join us October 16-17 in Santa Clara, CA.
