MICCAI 2019 Wednesday

MICCAI 2019 DAILY Keynote Speaker 12 how to use the device by using the device – and relatively independent of the infrastructure around them, the faster we can deploy them into what we think of as the under-resourced areas. Finally, do you have a word for our first-time MICCAI participants? Why should they come to your keynote, and what is the main take-home thought you would like to deliver to them? If they'd like to be challenged about where the future is going, and they can personally think about where the research that they do, the products that they design, or the directions that they're going to go in are going tohelpaffect theglobe, I'm looking to start that dialogue with them. I want to get people to think about ways in which the technologies that they develop are going to either deploy quickly or deploy slowly. I hope to be provocative and especially thought- provoking. The key thing is as long as we're all focusing on patient outcomes and we're all thinking about efficiency of delivery, this is the future of medical technology. The whole community is invited to come along to this morning’s keynote speech by Dr Catherine Mohr in the Espana Ballroom at 8:30. countries having more than one cell phone per person – including developing countries. When you can make medical devices that have that fast deployment characteristic, you will reach the largest number of patients as quickly as possible. What is the main obstacle today to being able to provide acceptable healthcare services to everybody in the world, and not only to people living in developed countries? Again, it's another multifactorial answer. I believe there are fairly large educational infrastructure problems. We simply haven't educated enough healthcare practitioners, and there's a lot in the technology world that we can do to help build educational technologies and to support the education of additional surgeons and other healthcare practitioners. The other thing gets back to that fast and slow infrastructure problem. When a new device or a new technology leans heavily on all of the infrastructure around it – whether that's just clean water or electricity – you're not going to be able to deploy those technologies in places that don't have that kind of infrastructure. If devices can be more standalone, both from an educational perspective – you learn "I actually think industry and academia work fairly well together. "
