The global wearable biosensors market is a rapidly expanding industry with increasingly growing potential for applications in healthcare and technological advances. With potential in remote patient monitoring, diagnosis, and detection of disease, biosensors and wearable devices are gaining substantial interest due to their opportunities to offer continuous and reliable physiological information allowing for better support of patient needs. With that in mind, SMi — in partnership with Medical Design Briefs — is proud to present the Designing Biosensors for Medical Wearables Conference.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRS:

Dear Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to SMi’s Medical Wearables for Biosensors conference, taking place on October the 25–26, 2021, in Boston.

As part of SMi’s leading series of medical device conferences, this year’s event will bring together expertise from individuals in multiple disciplines in the field of body-worn sensors and connected devices. The two-day conference will offer a series of presentations, through which you will gain insight into on-body devices for monitoring and remote diagnostics, device design considerations, wearables in clinical trials and a future outlook of the industry focusing on start-ups and novel developments.

Furthermore, in light of the global pandemic, experts from academia and industry will discuss the role that biosensors have played in the response against COVID-19. Following the main event, two post-conference workshops will be held on Wednesday October 27, 2021. There will be the opportunity to discuss digital integration within clinical trials with Aparito and to explore the potential of energy harvesting for body-worn sensors with the Center for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies.

As chairs of this conference, we look forward to welcoming you to this must-attend event in Boston this October.

Yours Sincerely,

Andreas Caduff, Strategic Advisory Board, Digital Medicine Society

Natalie Wisniewski, Principal, Medical Device Consultancy
