There are an increasing number of emerging medical technologies (MedTech) which are having a significant effect on the medical equipment and medical device industries. The main principles that come into play when applying these new medical technologies are design for manufacturability, thinking ahead, thinking critically, and taking the lead.

To create disruptive technologies and products, companies must investigate new materials, processes, and equipment sets. A new technology called Glass Core Technology, which provides avenues for new electrical, electro-optical, microfluidic, and biomedical applications, is particularly promising. In this webinar, our featured speaker will explore several of these applications and why they are so game-changing for future biomedical device technologies.

Join this webinar to learn about:

Glass Core Technology and its applications in MedTech
How to solve MedTech product development issues using diverse approaches including, “secret sauces,” robust and reliable materials, engineering decision driven by data, and more
What needs to get developed in order to take the first big step in getting a MedTech product from concept to completion
