July 28, 2021 - August 5, 2021

Demand for Telemedicine Devices Heats Up

The Global Smart MedTech Symposium was produced July 28-29, Aug 4-5, 2021, for a global audience with a wide range in international experts and panelists.  Overall focused on bridging the gap between engineering and life sciences.

 

Each day had a different technical focus, enabling shared roadmaps and direction:

  • July 28 - Realtime Continuous Diagnostics & Monitoring
  • July 29 - Decentralized DNA Sequencing & Molecular Diagnostics
  • August 4 - Data Science & Infrastructure - AI/Data Fusion
  • August 5 - Applications in Rural & Decentralized Healthcare in the Digital Age

Presentations from subject matter experts and the subsequent panel discussions are available for each of three regions:  Asia, Europe and North America.

Demand for Telemedicine Devices Heats Up

Bridging the Gap Between Engineering and the Life Sciences

OVERVIEW

The Symposium brought together experts to share their work and identify gaps to accelerating the development of technologies and optimize health outcomes.  Topics covered included using AI in diagnostics and decision-making using AI; data fusion for real time diagnosis; and the impact of these technologies on rural and decentralized healthcare.

Layered on top was the topic of performance augmentation by reading biochemical markers, digital genomics, using new and proposed bio-sensors and wearables.  We heard about tools and technologies available to assess physiological markers that are correlated to health and wellness such as stress, fatigue, chronic disease and cognition. 

The forum focused on bringing together the players across the growing range of industries that are advancing human monitoring applications to:

  • share pre-competitive ideas that may be applied to product development
  • assess roadblocks in bringing human monitoring products to market
  • form partnerships that have become key in overcoming obstacles to successful manufacturing and product development

Background on SEMI NBMC

The Nano-Bio Materials Consortium (NBMC) was founded to bring together scientists, engineers and business development professionals from industry, government and universities to collaboratively initiate research and development of electronic technologies to improve human performance health monitoring, diagnostics and performance augmentation. The goal is to proactively build an ecosystem that can drive healthcare and medical electronics innovation towards products that serve society faster. These innovations are laying the groundwork for new products in in digital health and personalized medicine enabling overall health protection.
