Registration now open for MedtechVision 2012 conference

MedtechWomen today announced that registration is now open for MedtechVision 2012: The Empowered Patient, the second annual conference designed by and for women on the forefront of medical innovation. The conference will be held September 11 at the Rosewood Sand Hill in Menlo Park, Calif. A discount of $200 is available for conference attendees who register on or before August 7.

The conference will host more than 20 distinguished panelists and speakers. Victoria Nahum, the founder of the Safe Care Campaign, will deliver the opening keynote, which will focus on the power patients possess to bring change to the medtech industry. Molly J. Coye, M.D., M.P.H., chief innovation officer of the UCLA Health System, will deliver the event's closing keynote, which will provide insight into how providers are adapting their care delivery models and leveraging innovation to create more patient-centered care.

"We were thrilled with the overwhelmingly positive response to the inaugural MedtechVision conference last year," said Amy Belt, director of Covidien Ventures and co-founder of MedtechWomen. "We are excited to once again bring together women leaders in medical devices and diagnostics for a content-driven discussion of key opportunities and challenges facing the medtech industry today. The goal of the conference is to understand and appreciate the significant changes affecting the healthcare industry in order to guide medtech innovation and investments towards solutions."

"The theme of the conference this year - the empowered patient - reflects the increasingly important concept of patients being active drivers of innovation and change in healthcare," said Deborah Kilpatrick, Ph.D., MedtechWomen co-founder. "More than ever before, the ability of business leaders, physicians, policymakers, and investors to meet patient needs and expectations will greatly impact the future effectiveness of the medtech industry."

Panel topics include:

  • Giving More Patients Access to Innovation: Strategies and Tactics for Domestic and International Market Development
  • The Internet's Impact on Patient Health Management, Care Delivery, and Choice
  • Stakeholder Roles in Patient Advocacy
  • CEO Roundtable
  • Innovation and the Evolving Role of the Patient Dollar: How a Patient's Expanding Purchasing Power will Drive Healthcare in the 21st Century.
