TECHFIT Digital Surgery's 1st Annual Biomedical 3D Printing Symposium
Join us for the 1st Annual Digital Surgery 3D Printing Symposium!
Digital Technologies like 3D printing, Artifical Intelligence, and the Internet of things are changing everything. Healthcare is expected to be one of the areas that will be hit hardest by this disruption. In the 1st Digital Surgery Symposium, we'll provide an in-depth look at real cases where these technologies have been used to improve patient outcomes and see real testimonies of surgeons who use it in their day to day practices as well as engineers leading the change.
The full session will be held at the Jim W Henderson Building from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM*
Speakers:
