At the 12th MEDICA Start-up COMPETITION on Tuesday afternoon (14 November), the focus is on the entire spectrum of innovations for the healthcare sector: from artificial intelligence (AI) to health apps, solutions for laboratory diagnostics and medical robotics. For the first time this year, “sustainability” features as a novel category. The 15th “Healthcare Innovation Worldcup” on Monday afternoon (13 November), by contrast, focuses on intelligent “Internet of Medical Things” (IoMT) solutions such as digital biomarkers, smart bandages and network-connectible wearables.
From increased outpatient treatment to AI to sustainability
Whether it’s at a professional trade fair, conference or professional forum: The important trends currently shaping the market and its dynamics are bound to provide food for discussion. One example is the growing trend of “outpatientisation”. This sets the focus on products and services for the so-called “point-of-care”, that is on patient-oriented diagnostics and treatment, but also on telemedical applications for optimal, cross-sector networking among all people involved in the care process. Also trending right now are procedures based on artificial intelligence (AI) and supporting systems, for example robotic systems or VR/AR (virtual reality/augmented reality) applications, as well as solutions for the implementation of more sustainable processes along the supply and added value chain.
Supply sector in “high performance mode”
If you want to see for yourself what medical technology industry suppliers are capable of, the best option is COMPAMED 2023 in the trade fair Halls 8a and 8b. The exhibiting companies there will also present (five) worlds of experience including a wide range of high-tech and service solutions. The five worlds of experience are: Manufacturing & Devices (e.g., components, parts, manufacturing processes), Services & Advice (e.g., research, development, services), Materials (e.g., plastics, glass, ceramics, metals, composite materials, adhesives, packaging), Micro Tech (such as micro components, microfluidics) as well as IT in Tech (software development and maintenance for medical technology).
In their programme sessions, the COMPAMED HIGH-TECH FORUM by IVAM and the COMPAMED SUPPLIERS FORUM follow important industry and technological trends and offer practical information concerning new procedures, products and relevant aspects of work on international markets.
In the year before, MEDICA and COMPAMED recorded a total of 81,000 visitors. (2021: 46,000) with an international share of 75 percent.
The industry portals MEDICA and COMPAMED offer a complete overview of the programme, a multitude of digital services as well as comprehensive reporting over the duration of the trade fair event. Tickets to the trade fairs as well as the Düsseldorf ticket for the Rheinbahn light rail network can be purchased in the ticket shops of both portals.
