There is a new event coming to the Dallas-Fort Worth area called Intelligent Medical Systems 2013 — The Coming Era of IMS: Bringing Biomedical Devices to Life.  It will be held at the University of Texas at Dallas, on April 9, 2013.  DFWHC is pleased to be a sponsor of this inaugural event, and are excited to be able to spread the word about it.

The conference will examine the concept of an Intelligent Medical System (IMS).  It will look “beyond” the biomedical device to define the scope and organization of an IMS and consider the integration of key components.  Speakers from academia and industry will join together to discuss:

Bringing evolving “intelligent” functionality to medical device product concepts

• Integrating “smart” devices into intelligent systems
• IMS-enabled redesign of information flows and organizational redesign
• Integrated remote patient monitoring and response models
• Roadmap challenges for IMS-enabling technical advancements
• Improved patient compliance and enhanced patient experience and outcome 
• The “Internet of Things” as it relates to healthcare delivery, security, and collaboration
• Investment and management challenges facing IMS innovation, incubation and commercialization 
• …and much more

We hope you can join us on April 9.  For further information please contact Conference Coordinator Bette Cooper at bcooper@meptec.org or call 650-714-1570.
