MINNEAPOLIS -- The SMTA has issued a call for papers for the Medical Electronics Symposium. The event will be held in Minneapolis in the spring of 2006.
The deadline for abstracts is Nov. 4.
Medical electronics is worth some $50 billion and is one of the few industries still based largely in the
U.S. The conference will explore medical electronics devices, components, packaging and assembly for major categories such as: diagnostics, imaging, monitoring, life support, implantable products, personal monitor/delivery devices, and disposable electronics.
While each industry segment has different assembly needs and volumes ranging from one unit per month to millions per year, the conference will explore the differences and similarities of the production lines and operations. A key focus of the conference will be emerging and future advances in medical electronics as impacted by advances in semiconductors, sensors, microfluidics, optoelectronics, MEMS and nanotechnology.
Abstracts of 200-300 words should be sent to conference coordinator Melissa Serres at melissa@smta.org.
