WORKSHOP SEVEN

Title: Commercialization of Medical Diagnostic and Other Devices

Date and time: Monday 5 September 2005, 14.00 - 17.15


Abstract
Medical Diagnostics are inextricably linked to the future development of health care. The development of accurate and inexpensive measuring devices capable of delivering rapid results to the patient are in great demand and will have a massive market. Expert speakers presented and discussed the commercialization challenges which these present. Researchers, manufacturers, practitioners and end users were welcomed as part of the audience and also participated in a panel session when questions and issues were discussed.
