Smart Monitoring 2009
Saturday & Sunday, August 8 & 9, 2009
Saturday Workshop (12:00 - 04:00pm): Connectivity - Interoperability of Medical Devices
Sunday Workshop (8:30am - 05:00pm): Smart Monitoring Needs and Technologies
Smart Monitoring 2009 is a forum for open discussions focused on medical monitoring for combat casualty care. The content also will be of interest to clinicians and developers of monitoring systems for civilian trauma and critical care.
Why?
The DOD’s En Route Care System (ERCS) is the doctrine, personnel and technologies for optimal medical care from the field thru the ICU. The need for new technologies is clear, and will require innovation from government, academia and industry. Smart Monitoring 2009 provides a forum for communication between industry and the medical caregiver. Physicians, nurses and medics who know the limitations of technologies can define what they need, but can not develop the products. Industry has the means to develop the products, but needs an understanding of the customers’ real world needs.
Join expert caregivers and industrial representatives for focused discussions on the unmet needs of combat casualty care and trauma care. This unique meeting provides for an open and off the record dialog between military medical caregivers and industrial experts.
Goals:
Provide an opportunity for industry to present new and emerging monitoring technologies. Industry representatives will provide the vision of how their product(s) will contribute to medical care of military and civilian trauma.
Provide a forum for combat experienced physicians, medics, corpsmen, and nurses to discuss what is needed, and how monitoring technologies meet or do not meet those needs.
Topics and sessions will include:
