Meet the BIOMEDevice Silicon Valley 2021 Keynote Lineup: Two Expert-led Panels Set to Explore the Convergence of Advanced Tech and Healthcare

Tune in to two days of forward-looking and inspirational keynote panels presented by eight of the industry’s most prominent leaders advancing next-gen technology adoption in healthcare.

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BIOMEDevice Silicon Valley, the region’s premiere Smart Event connecting biotech engineers and cutting-edge companies, today revealed the keynote lineup confirmed to headline the 2021 edition of the annual event. Spanning the live event’s two days, eight prominent leaders from AliveCor, DesignAbly, Dyad Engineering, Exo, Nēsos, Oracle Corporation, Samsung, SDSA, and Stanford University will deliver panel discussions that are designed to explore the latest technology that is rapidly advancing the delivery of patient care and driving the future of healthcare.

This year, all educational content at BIOMEDevice Silicon Valley, the definitive event serving the convergence of the biotechnology and advanced technology industries, is designed to facilitate peer-to-peer conversation and spark ideas that will advance this dynamic field. Following suit, the keynote panels explore the integration of AI platforms, big data, and edge computing with the healthcare field and groundbreaking product developments and technologies that are scaling the adoption of the at-home care capabilities.

Augmenting the in-person experience, the Smart Event has already connected buyers and suppliers via the event’s online platform in preparation for the live event slated for December 8 and 9 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center. Secure a pass here today to enjoy the robust Expo floor and world-class educational content. Attendees that sign up today benefit greatly from the Smart Event, scheduling meetings with suppliers for a seamless onsite experience and tuning into exclusive content made available to registered attendees.

“Technology underpins healthcare’s ongoing transformation, and while much of the urgency-driven innovation incited by the pandemic has lessened, society has embraced technology-centric conveniences such as at-home care and digitally-native medical devices,” said Adrienne Zepeda, Group Event Director, BIOMEDevice Silicon Valley. “Change of this magnitude requires continued education and forward-thinking, both of which we are proud to offer in excess at this year’s event. The keynote panels in particular host notable leaders and engineers that have first-hand experience integrating new-age technologies into device development design and streamlining processes that help organizations across the healthcare spectrum adapt to changing clinical and patient needs.”

Patrick Bagert, Vice President, AI at Samsung, SDSA, and keynote panelist who will share insights as a part of a four-person discussion on December 9, remarked: “The most exciting frontier for AI is healthcare, particularly imaging. Putting AI models on medical devices to help diagnose a variety of conditions is within reach and will help get more accurate results to the patient much faster. This will help free up doctors to focus on treatment and help regions in the world that do not have access to the best doctors. I look forward to connecting with my peers at the upcoming event in Silicon Valley.”
