The Next Iteration of AI in Medical
Devices
Artificial intelligence is an impressively
fast-moving technology in all fields, and especially for
medical devices. It is already improving patient lives with
innovative healthcare, lower healthcare costs, and better
patient outcomes, but as with all advances, if not properly
regulated, these benefits could possibly open risks to safety
and security. In this keynote, Baird will address new and
emerging regulations and standards (both national and international),
differences between predictive AI and generative
AI, and where this technology will take us in the next
few years.

Digitalization: The Key to Accelerating
the Future of Manufacturing
Digitalization can take companies to new
levels of manufacturing efficiencies on the way to becoming an
automated, data-driven organization. Digital threads form the
backbone that enables digitalization, and companies can leverage
AI to mature the adoption curve and expand their foundational
capabilities.
In this keynote, Garg helps attendees learn how digitalization
is transforming organizations, from product design
through manufacturing and into service delivery. Tools such as
AI, XR, and digital twins are driving the future of manufacturing,
allowing companies to harness the enormous quantities of
data generated by industrial IoT that power the new insights
and opportunities required to stay ahead of the competition.

Sensors in Space: Learnings from
Designing NASA's James Webb Telescope
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the largest, most
complex and powerful space telescope ever built. It is also the
world's first space deployable telescope and includes 10 new technologies.
The construction took over 100 million man hours by
hundreds of companies spread over the globe. JWST contains the
largest mirror ever launched into space and two different types of
extraordinarily sensitive detectors. The JWST just passed its second
year in space and is performing twice as well as required. Jon Arenburg,
chief mission architect for the JWST at Northrop Grumman
Space, oversaw the integrated design performance for the project.
In this keynote, Arenberg will review the mission and then delve
into the sensors and other devices developed for the project. And,
of course, he will share some of the jaw-dropping images the JWST
has sent back.

Printing a Healthier Tomorrow: How
3D Technology Is Shaping the Future of Medicine
The future of healthcare delivery is more precise, personalized,
and accessible. This view into the future explores the transformative
potential of 3D printing/additive manufacturing (AM), 3D
scanning, extended reality (XR), and artificial intelligence (AI) in
revolutionizing how we deliver medical care. In this keynote, Alexwww.medicaldesignbriefs.com
