IEEE HI-POCT 2024: Premier Conference on Health Innovations in Point-of-Care Technology
The 8th annual IEEE EMB Strategic Conference, the premier event for Health Innovations in Point-of-Care Technologies, will be held on September 19-20, 2024 at the University of Arizona.
This year's focus is on funding opportunities and navigating the journey from idea to patient.
Key Highlights:
- Insightful Sessions: Keynote talks and expert panels addressing clinical needs, the innovation process, funding, and networking opportunities.
- Paper Submissions: We are accepting 4-page Full Papers, 1-page Conference Abstracts for poster presentations, and 1-page Prototype Demonstration Abstracts. Outstanding papers will be invited to present in a special session and have the opportunity for rapid review and publication in prestigious journals such as IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology, PLOS Digital Health, Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, and Frontiers in Digital Health. See Call for Papers for more details.
- Expert Panels: Discussions on the development, translation, and commercialization of technologies, and the challenges in bringing medical care innovations to community health.
