DMD 2015 Program - Design of Medical Devices Conference
Design of Medical Devices Conference ference The Commons Hotell & McNamara Alumni Ce enter Minneapolis, MN Welcome to the 14th Annual University of Minnesota Design of Medical Devices Conference The Design of Medical Devices Conference was created in 2001 to enhance collaboration between academia and industry, promote policy, research and educational initiatives as they relate to medical device design and to support medical devices education at the University of Minnesota. This forum, uniquely positioned in the middle of one of the most significant medical device communities in the world, has provided invaluable insight and leadership to promote the future of this evolving industry. Conference attendance has more than tripled since its inception and we look forward to continued growth. The success of this conference is due in large part to the continued support from our industry sponsors and University of Minnesota partners. On behalf of the DMD Planning Committee, we thank you. We hope you enjoy this year’s conference! Sincerely, 2015 Design of Medical Devices Conference Planning Committee The Design of Medical Devices Conference is presented by the University of Minnesota Medical Devices Center (part of the Institute for Engineering in Medicine), the College of Science and Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering. In Cooperation with the Office of University Economic Development, University of Minnesota.
