MD&M West Presents an In-Depth Look at New Medtech Innovations - from Nanorobots to 3D-Printed KneesSANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) West today highlights some of the most cutting-edge medical technology to be presented at the conference in Anaheim, February 9-11. A full-day conference track, New Product Development Technologies and NexGen Applications, explores how technological developments are presenting opportunities for medical innovation and new forms of treatment—bridging the gap between electronics and biology. A highly anticipated panel, The Doctor is In - Here's What Physicians Really Think About the Future of Medical Innovation, will discuss how emerging technologies will improve population health and lead to medical breakthroughs in the next two to five years. The panelists will discuss the new need for medical devices within specific treatment areas and how connected devices enhance healthcare overall. Moderated by Rania Nasis, CEO of Starlings and Chair of the Society of Physician Entrepreneurs, panelists include:
Dr. Kwanoh Kim, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin's Cockrell School of Engineering will present a case study, Nanorobots: A Bottoms-Up Approach, about how miniscule robots can seek out problem cells and provide targeted treatment inside a patient's body. Dr. Kim will examine the growing trend towards using nanoparticles to carry molecules or drugs from a medical device, and how coupling nanometers with advanced medical equipment can create multifunctional biomedical technology. Dr. Kim's work on nanomotors was nominated as a finalist for the SXSW Interactive Innovation Award and ranked third on BBC Focus Magazine's 2014 list of ten discoveries that will shape the future.
