NeoDesign
Our mission is to advance neonatal care by facilitating interaction between innovators in design, development, translation, and commercialization of technology.
NeoDesign Focus Group: Re-engineering Newborn Health Care Technologies
Goals
- Understand and incorporate "design thinking" into clinical workflow and innovation efforts
- Better appreciate and address barriers to neonatal design that may limit the provision of healthcare solutions in under-resourced environments
- Recognize and meet the clinical, business, and ethical challenges of testing new devices and technologies in neonatal care
- Network with potential mentors and collaborators in this field
Date & Time: Monday, May 8, 2017, 7:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.
Venue: InterContinental, San Francisco (Union Square)
Room: InterContinental Ballroom C
Participants: This focus group is open to anyone who is interested in the development and application of new devices and technology in neonatal care.
NeoDesign Gala

Speaker Series
Each month we invite an inventor or innovator to speak at our meeting and host a networking event open to those who are interested in the development and application of new devices and technology in neonatal care
The series provides attendees with the opportunity to interact very closely with thought leaders in the field of neonatal device design and gain an appreciation for the clinical, business and ethical challenges that may arise. We encourage speakers to articulate their vision, and share their insights and the lessons they have learned during the design process.
