PORTLAND, OR – Organizers of this year's Medical Electronics Symposium seek abstracts on the latest equipment and related manufacturing techniques for the annual event.

SMTA, iNEMI, and MEPTEC are hosting the symposium, which will focus on innovation in electronic technologies and manufacturing targeting medical and bioscience applications. It takes place will be at Marylhurst University near Portland on Sept. 14-15.

Presenters are invited to speak on implantable devices, diagnostic equipment, personal monitoring, and drug delivery, as well as biosensors, microfluidics, wireless communications and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).

Suggested topics include flexible/stretchable circuitry in medical electronics; devices/sensors/security - connected health security; business and market trends in medical electronics; medical electronic product design; wearables in healthcare; IoT solutions for medical technologies; medical assembly/test; miniaturization, and reliability concerns in medical products.

The symposium will cover design, miniaturization, materials, manufacturability, test, reliability, and regulatory compliance for Class II and III medical electronics.
Other topics include emerging technologies such as stretchable electronics, wireless body area networks, biosensors in novel applications and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS).

Abstracts and presentations must be non-commercial in nature and emphasize medical technology.  No technical papers are required.
Presentations are due Aug. 8.
