Taking the stage will be returning presenter Harel Gadot, company group chairman, MEDX Ventures Group, and Carolyn Yang, MD, attending physician, Hospital at Home Program, Brigham & Women's Hospital.

The two-day event features more than 200 biomed suppliers and features education accessible on the expo floor to enhance the onsite experience and provide direct access to the experts that are improving precision medicine, forging the way in personalized patient care, and developing the technology driving the digital health revolution, shared Informa Markets Engineering, event organizer and publisher of MD+DI. The keynote presentations will kick off each day of the event at 12:15 p.m. EST. 

"I am very excited to be a part of the upcoming BIOMEDevice conference, to meet key stakeholders in the biomedical device space and share my perspective as a practicing clinician who utilizes innovative technologies on the frontlines,” remarked Yang. “I am hoping that my insights will shed light on how artificial intelligence is advancing healthcare delivery in novel ways. I also cannot wait to attend the wide range of educational sessions and network with others in the industry to see how we might be able to support one another in achieving future goals.”

"It's an exciting time for the biomedical space, as the pandemic triggered a wave of collaborative problem-solving," said Melissa Magestro, VP and Group Portfolio Leader at Informa Markets – Engineering, organizers of BIOMEDevice Boston.
