Neurotechnologies are increasingly making the leap from research laboratories to clinical practice. Advances in the detection of neural signals, brain-computer interfaces, neurostimulation, smart implants, and AI-powered data analysis are opening up new possibilities for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. What was long considered science fiction is now, step by step, becoming a medical reality. This session highlights current developments across the entire value chain—from the measurement and interpretation of neural signals to innovative implants and personalized therapies. Experts from research, industry, and clinical practice will discuss technological breakthroughs, challenges in clinical translation, and the role of artificial intelligence as a driver of innovation.

Menopause is one of the most significant—yet still under-researched—areas of women’s health. Nevertheless, it affects all women. At the same time, advances in artificial intelligence, wearables, digital biomarkers, multi-omics, and digital health applications are opening up new possibilities for understanding hormonal changes and individual symptom progression based on data and addressing them in a targeted manner. This session explores menopause as a field of innovation at the intersection of medical technology, digital health, and precision medicine, and discusses how data-driven technologies can help close gender-specific gaps in care. The focus is on current research approaches, technological developments, and issues related to evidence, data quality, regulation, and gender-sensitive AI. The goal is to highlight the potential and challenges of innovation-driven menopause care for research, industry, and the healthcare sector.

Bringing innovative medical technologies to patients requires more than successful product development and regulatory approval. Adoption in clinical practice depends on close collaboration between manufacturers, healthcare professionals, and other stakeholders throughout the innovation pathway. This session explores the key challenges that influence the successful translation of medical device innovations into routine patient care, including clinical evidence generation, usability, reimbursement, workflow integration, and user acceptance. By bringing together perspectives from both industry and clinicians, the discussion will identify common barriers and practical strategies to accelerate patient access while ensuring safety, effectiveness, and sustainable implementation in healthcare.

Personalized medicine aligns prevention, diagnostics, and therapy more closely with each person’s individual characteristics – such as genetics, biomarkers, lifestyle, and disease progression. The session will explore how data-driven methods, AI, and modern diagnostics can help detect diseases earlier, select therapies more precisely, and reduce side effects. It will also examine the requirements for implementation in healthcare: reliable data, clear regulatory frameworks, data protection, reimbursement, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Personalized medicine will become increasingly important because it can treat patients more effectively, use healthcare resources more efficiently, and bring innovations into practice faster.

Panel Discussion

2:10 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.

As the congress comes to a close, the key takeaways from the past two days will be reflected upon from different perspectives. Representatives from the conference sessions, the accompanying exhibition, and the partnering activities will share their most important insights, discuss emerging trends, and highlight the topics that have shaped the event. The closing session not only summarizes the congress's key findings but also showcases the new connections, collaborations, and initial ideas that have emerged throughout the two days.                    

10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.

The healthcare sector relies on materials and supply chains that are increasingly subject to uncertainty. Shortages, price fluctuations, and geopolitical disruptions highlight just how vulnerable this sector is. At the same time, the plastics and chemicals used in healthcare also affect the health of patients and staff. Circular economy approaches—from reusable products to new business models—can reduce dependence on critical resources, create economic value, and make healthcare safer and more environmentally sustainable.
With support from “Health Care Without Harm Europe,” this event brings together experts from the healthcare sector and industry to share international best practices. Join us and discover how the circular economy can help:
  • strengthen the security and resilience of healthcare supply chains
  • create economic value
  • protect the health of patients and staff by reducing exposure to harmful plastics and chemicals

You’ll learn concrete examples of what works in practice.

11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Lunch Break

12:30 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Long development cycles in medical technology carry significant risks: Valuable time is often lost due to unclear regulatory expectations, which can lead to costly rework in the later stages. These delays not only threaten the market launch but also put a huge strain on the budget. In this practical session, we show how the Structured Dialogue with the Notified Body can provide reliable guidance early in the development phase. Using a concrete case study of a manufacturer, we demonstrate how this tool was successfully applied in practice for a novel medical product. In addition, you’ll learn how a tailored verification strategy can be derived from this dialogue, helping you effectively avoid time-consuming detours and pitfalls on the direct path to approval.                    

More visions. More global perspectives. More momentum.

For everyone who wants to actively shape the future of the medtech and healthcare industries.
