IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Health Innovations in Point of Care Technology (IEEE HI-POCT) is the premier conference in the areas of Health innovations in point-of-care technologies. In its eighth year, this IEEE EMB Strategic Conference will emphasize funding opportunities and the promise and pitfalls of the journey from idea to patient. The conference will provide a strategic forum where clinicians, industry experts, innovation experts, researchers, and students will examine how to define unmet clinical needs and successfully travel along the innovation cycle toward commercialization and patient impact. Clinical, technological, regulatory, and marketing aspects of this learnable process will be stressed. Expert panels will discuss learnings in the development, translation, and commercialization of technologies and challenges in bringing medical care innovation to community health.
Our conference is currently accepting the following submission types:
- Full Papers – 4 Pages in length
- Conference Abstracts 1 Page (not published in IEEE Xplore®)
- Prototype Demonstration Abstracts – 1 Page (not published in IEEE Xplore®)
