The special topics conference, co-sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), focuses on healthcare innovations and point-of-care technologies and their clinical translation to address challenges in global quality healthcare.
HI-POCT provides a forum for all stakeholders in healthcare to elucidate the barriers and challenges in the broad delivery of quality, accurate, and affordable health care. Features include discussions on the role of point-of-care diagnostic systems in quality global healthcare, especially in underserved and under-resourced populations; and barriers and challenges to adoption and mechanisms by which innovative technologies can be collectively addressed and overcome. Through panel discussions and breakout sessions, the conference will also provide opportunities for stakeholders to explore collaborations and synergies to accelerate healthcare system development, validation, deployment and adoption in a manner consistent with the needs of the stakeholder groups, and to achieve the overall goal of improving healthcare at affordable cost.
Conference themes would include a topical coverage of (but not limited to):
• Healthcare Innovations: Devices, Systems and Services with applications to monitoring, diagnosis, therapeutic, surgical, emergency care and interventional protocols • Point-Of-Care (POC) Technologies Clinical Translational of Healthcare Innovations and POC technologies • POC Technologies in Under Resources Settings • Lab-on-a-chip • Devices for Molecular Epidemiology • Compliance and Acceptance of POC Technologies • Evidence-based Medicine • Personalized, Preventive and Precision Medicine • mHealth Innovations • Wireless Communications and device data control and fusion • Critical Care • Medical and Healthcare Data Communication, Security, Privacy • Infrastructure Independent Care • Integration of innovations and point of care diagnostic devices into systems of healthcare • Regulatory challenges (US and International) • Global Healthcare Challenges
