MD+DI Announces Wireless Connectivity in Medical Devices Conference in San Jose, CA

July 25-26, 2012 at The Fairmont, San Jose, CA

SAN JOSE, CA, June 1, 2012 /CNW/ - MD+DI, in association with Design News, EE Times, and MD&M, announces the Wireless Connectivity in Medical Devices Conference on July 25-26, 2012 at The Fairmont in San Jose, CA. This one-of-a-kind event addresses the adoption of wireless technology and mobile lifestyles into healthcare and the impact of this on medical device manufacturers now and in the future. The comprehensive two-day program promises to serve as an ideal setting for major medical device industry players, innovative entrepreneurs, wireless technology providers, connectivity experts, and healthcare administrators to network face-to-face and discuss timely and effective practical strategies and solutions for wireless medical device development.

Speaker and wireless medical device expert, David H. Hoglund, President and Founder of Integra Systems sees this conference as a unique opportunity to bring all the wireless knowledge and experience directly to medical device manufacturers. "Over the past twenty years, we've seen what works and does not work by implementation experience.  This conference should give the audience some unbiased knowledge in design, implementation, and deployments that will save costs as well as time for development."

Hear from David on the first day of the conference as he presents on the key differences between custom (proprietary) and industry standard network bands and how to choose the most appropriate system for the functionality and environment your medical device will operate in. Joining David in the speaker line-up are industry experts, Phil Raymond from Phillips Healthcare, Michael McNeil from Medtronic, Ken Fuchs from Mindray, Ed Cantwell from West Wireless Health Institute, Dan Pettus from CareFusion, Michael Taborn from Intel, Jim Welch from Sotera Wireless, Tim Gee from Medical Device Connectivity Consulting, and more.

Editor-in-Chief of MD+DI, Heather Thompson will be chairing the full two-day conference program with 24 in-depth presentations on market trends, regulatory environment, network and connectivity options, technical challenges, design and development best practices, data management and security, and medical mobile apps.
