Thank you for attending The MedTech Conference 2017! The information below is from our 2017 program, but stay tuned as we will be updating it soon for The MedTech Conference 2018 in Philadelphia, PA on September 24-26!

Our industry is transforming the world of healthcare. Working with our clinician partners, we can elevate patient engagement, advance innovation and collectively enhance successful outcomes. By listening to their stories, and educating and supporting patients on their individual health journeys, we can optimize the patient experience together.

Please stop by the Patient Pavilion (Booth #313) to learn more about how to activate patients into care, keep them engaged throughout treatment, and create brand advocates through any of our four educational sessions.

All four sessions will be moderated by Rolf Benirschke, Co-CEO, Legacy Health Strategies.
