MDIC’s first public summit devoted entirely to advancing the use of computational modeling and simulation (M&S) in the development and evaluation of medical devices.

This event will gather industry, researchers, regulators, and software companie to discuss how M&S could be used to provide regulatory-grade evidence of a device’s safety and efficacy. The summit is a unique opportunity for industry leaders to exchange ideas about how to leverage M&S to bring new devices to market safely, more quickly, and at lower cost—giving patients more and better choices for treatment.

Panel sessions and podium presentations will feature topics such as combining experiment and simulation to inform clinical trials, creating data repositories to support the industry-wide use of M&S, and much more.

Interact with experts in the field, including representatives from: ANSYS, BD (Becton, Dickinson, and Company), Boston Scientific, Dassault Systèmes Simulia, CBSET, J&J, DePuy Synthes, Exponent, FEAdvantage, FEops, IT’IS, Georgia Tech, Granta Design, HeartFlow, Materialise, Mayo Clinic, Medtronic, Open Source Medical Software Corporation, Simpleware, SynCardia Systems, St. Jude Medical, Stony Brook University, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, University of California, San Francisco, University of Arizona, University of Minnesota, Veryst Engineering, VEXTEC, Zimmer
