KEYNOTE PRESENTATION:
Medical Imaging and Diagnostic: Current Status and Future Trends
Abstract: Medical imaging continues to play a significant role in healthcare. Technological advancements have led to transformations in the industry that in turn have led to medical imaging devices that are more accurate, smaller, less expensive and capable of imaging smaller structures and lesions. These advancements have led to the use of imaging devices for screening, diagnosis, staging, procedure guidance and monitoring. Future advancements in technology promise continued transformation of imaging modalities.
In this presentation we will focus on medical imaging devices and related applications, and touch upon the brief history of imaging, the current status and future trends. Other technologies that could impact imaging in the future will be discussed. Significant emphasis will be put on Ultrasound as an important imaging modality, and potential “stethoscope of the future”.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION:
Body Area Sensing: from Wearables to Implants
Abstract: Rapid advances in wireless communications, sensing technologies, and materials are opening new and hitherto unexplored opportunities in body area sensing. Next-generation wireless devices are envisioned that operate either upon or inside the human body to unobtrusively provide round-the-clock health status information. Example applications include, but are not limited to, healthcare, sports, military, consumer electronics, etc. In this presentation, we will review transformational wireless technologies for body area sensing, addressing their potential and challenges raised. Particular focus will be on a novel class of flexible E-textile electronics, as well as game-changing wireless implants that sense deep-brain neuropotentials without batteries. Other technologies required to make these wearable and implanted devices a reality will also be discussed, including antennas, power harvesting, in-vitro / in-vivo testing, patient safety, etc.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION:
The Needs and Challenges Facing All Aspects of Medical Applications & Packaging
When faced with medical device and component needs and challenges, most packaging engineers thrive in defining innovations, workarounds, and solutions addressing those needs and challenges. However, advanced biomedical devices require extensive interdisciplinary development efforts from technologists and medical professionals as well as extensive testing and certification. Various new, exciting, and novel applications of MEMS & sensor technologies are central to the medical industry, from improving & innovating large medical equipment and portable medical instrumentation to enabling medical wearables and point of care devices. Areas of medical device packaging technology development and pathfinding need to include: heterogeneous device technologies, biocompatible materials, elimination of cytotoxicity, miniaturization schemes, robust interconnects (at device, package, module, & system levels), and the incorporation of microfluidics and optics. This presentation will focus on specific needs and challenges within upcoming medical applications and medical device packaging.
