Seminar Four — Wireless Medical Devices
10:00-11:45 a.m.

Consumer demand for a more integrated healthcare system is shaping the future direction of the medical device industry. Consumers have now projected expectations of convenience and ease of use on more than just consumer electronics like smartphones and tablets. This phenomenon, dubbed “the consumerization of healthcare” has tasked medical device manufacturers with designing and developing devices that not only serve their original medical function, but also convey pertinent health information to medical professionals in a timely and meaningful manner.

This seminar provides a timely overview on the latest regulatory frameworks in place for wireless devices, as well as practical case studies for drilling down into wireless applications – design, functionality, testing, security and compliance.
