MEDICAL DEVICE WORKSHOP: FROM CLINIC TO MARKET The Importance of Digital Health Though people are generally living longer, there is a dramatic increase in chronic conditions such as diabetes and congestive heart failure. Ideally, patients would remain at home and be viewed in their totality, including health status, social network, and individual capabilities. Learn how personal telehealth technology could help with innovative delivery of patient care. Lisa M. Hubbard, Project Manager – Digital Health, Intel The Commercialization of an Idea In a perfect world, strong technological concepts would always evolve into commercial reality. But that ideal is relatively rare, because the transition out of the laboratory and into the marketplace can be intimidating and filled with technical, financial, and operational pitfalls. Learn firsthand about the process of commercializing a medical device.
