Annual International Conference Program
This year’s conference theme will be “Vital Signs: Saving Lives, Cutting Costs.” The principal topics of the conference will focus on technologies that have demonstrated a positive return on investment and/or significant error reductions. Specific topics will include wireless, robotic, computer, and informatics technologies and devices, as well as, processes that revolutionize the integrated delivery of medical care. A series of plenary lectures, panel discussions, and workshops will explore the growing outreach and telemedicine paradigm for health care delivery. Registrants will learn about wellness and preventative medicine and how they will yield significant savings to our rapidly aging population.
Audience
Doctors, health administrators, nurses, laboratory, and other health care professionals who are decision makers in their organization and have a desire to purchase technology, automate their institutions, and implement “lean” processes to realize improved patient outcomes, and cost savings.
Survey
Medical Automation shall conduct an annual survey in the form of a quiz with a premium reward in order to assess the current knowledge and principal products sought by our audience. The survey response will be made available to sponsors.

Trade Show and Exhibition
A commercial trade show and exhibition will be open throughout the conference. This will provide the opportunity for exhibitors to give hands on demonstrations of their technology to consumers, collaborating companies, and government agencies.
Physicians and medical providers of the twenty-first century have at their disposal an overwhelming abundance of new technologies, however, the challenge now becomes how best to select and implement the new technologies for effective and efficient patient treatment. The primary goal is to bring order and objectivity to a rapidly changing and potentially chaotic arena, as well as, to ease the transition into the new age of automated medicine.
