POC and mHealth Diagnostics Summit

 
  June 20, 2014  
     
 
Sheraton Boston Hotel, 39 Dalton Street, Boston, MA 02199
November 5-7, 2014


The growth and proliferation of point-of-care testing and mobile health devices is an indicator of the transformation in the IVD market, driven by the need to reduce the cost of healthcare and shorten the time required to get test results. A newly emerging DTC segment will meet the needs of consumers who are willing to pay out of pocket to manage their own health information by creating an array of tools designed to enable preventative medicine. This inaugural event will highlight advances in the rapid testing market in two sections: the development of technologies and the progression to the clinical and consumer interface.

Part 1:  Point-of-Care and Mobile Health Diagnostics Technologies: Molecular Diagnostics, Sensors, Disease Management

Part 2:  Point-of-Care and Mobile Health Diagnostics Clinical-Consumer Interface: Go-to-Marketing Strategies, Innovation Path, Integration
