This symposium brings together innovators, entrepreneurs, academics and industry leaders interested in ever-evolving medical device market and the challenges new technologies may produce. More and more devices are at the core of collecting patient data for providing added value and personalization. As a result, privacy and security issues continue to increasingly concern consumers, regulators, businesses and more. Experts will present practical information designed to help innovators successfully move their research from the laboratory to the biomedical device market.
