Additionally, the event will feature a wide variety of biomedical topics that have emerged in interest due to the COVID-19 pandemic including digital health such as wearables, surgical robotics, rapid product development, ongoing updates on medical device regulation, among many more through five tracks of expert-led content offerings. Notably, attendees will hear from experts from Boston Scientific, Google, Phillips, Protolabs, Toxicon, and more.
US digital health companies raised $5.4B in venture funding across the first six months of 2020. BIOMEDigital will spotlight several emerging medtech start-ups in the Start-up Stadium hosted by MassMEDIC. The Start-up Stadium will allow attendees to vote for their favorite start-up pitches from today’s most promising companies on 5 November on the BIOMEDigital platform.
MassMEDIC President Brian Johnson said: “From supply chain to distribution, the medtech sector has been upended by the coronavirus pandemic. However, the crisis presents a pivotal moment for the industry to usher in innovative medtech breakthroughs hence why MassMEDIC is excited to present the Start-up Stadium at BIOMEDigital to provide the opportunity for start-ups to produce the next live-saving device.”
