PORTLAND, OR – The 10th annual Medical Electronics Symposium will feature three keynotes here at Marylhurst University on Sept. 16-17.

John A. Rogers, Ph.D., University of Illinois, will kick off the event with his presentation on Soft Electronics for the Human Body. The talk will summarize fundamental and applied aspects of three recent examples that address currently unmet clinical needs: wearable electronics, high-resolution mapping systems, and soft sensors and stimulators.

Benjamin Roussel, MedTech activity lead at Yole Développement, will provide an overview of the applications and challenges faced when entering the wearable electronics and biosensors market in his presentation Medical & Healthcare: What are the Opportunities for MEMS and Sensors?

In his talk on Design Challenges for Home Use Medical Devices, Greg Thompson, VP of engineering within the Medical Division of Sanmina, will cover the challenges encountered when taking traditional medical devices and implementing them for the home use environment.

SMTA, iNEMI, MEPTEC and OregonBio will co-host this year’s international symposium, which will focus on advances in electronic technologies and advanced manufacturing, specifically targeting medical and bioscience applications.
