2015 Robotics Alley to feature Health Care and Medical Device Track

Robotics Alley has brought back one of its most popular tracks from 2014, the Health Care and Medical Device Track. The conference takes place in Minneapolis, at the heart of one of the nation's largest medical device clusters.

Minneapolis, Minn. November 24, 2015 -- The 2015 Robotics Alley Conference & Expo once again features a dedicated Health Care & Medical Device track.


Health Care and Medical Device sessions include:

* Surgical Robotics: Opportunities in a Competitive Landscape
* The Future of Medical Robotics: Looking Forward 10 Years
* The Regulatory Perspective
* Building a Foundational Development Strategy for a Surgical Robot
* Computers and Software in Medical Robotics - An IP Perspective

Conference attendees will also have an opportunity to hear from keynote speaker Robert High, CTO of IBMs Watson Solutions, and interact with the cognitive computer Watson, which is already in use at the Mayo Clinic. In addition, attendees can see a live demonstration of a bionic exoskeleton from Ekso Bionics that is currently in use by patients with various levels of paralysis.

Minnesota's Twin Cities are home to both Robotics Alley and many of the world's most innovative health care and medical device companies. As a result, the conference is perfectly positioned to showcase how robotics and automation are changing the face of health care. The conference also offers separate tracks focused on agriculture, security and defense, transportation, and more.

This years event will take place December 1-2 at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis. For more information and to register, go to roboticsalley.org.
