Medical device leaders from across the country in both industry and academia will converge at the University of Minnesota’s 18th annual Design of Medical Devices Conference (DMD) April 16-18 at Graduate Minneapolis, 615 Washington Ave. S.E., Minneapolis. The conference will address emerging trends related to medical device design, digital health, policy, engineering, education and commercialization.
More than 1,300 people are expected to attend this year’s conference, making it the largest medical devices conference in the world. Additional walk-in registrations are accepted each day.
In addition to a comprehensive program with more than 150 presenters on a wide variety of topics related to medical devices, the conference includes a new exhibit this year that explores the rise of virtual reality in healthcare. Attendees can talk with experts who have worked in virtual reality since its inception about the expanding availability of tools and how the University has used them to improve patient outcomes.
