The 2023 COMPAMED
Innovation Forum: This is why high-tech sensor technology
is crucial for health care!
The cost of health care is rising the world over, and in
almost all OECD member states, it is rising even faster
than their ability to keep up. Modern technologies can at
least help to mitigate this development while ensuring at
the same time that the quality of care does not suffer and
that staff (see “lack of skilled workers”) is given a
respite. This is especially true of sensors which play an
increasingly important part in medical technology to make
medical devices even more powerful and safe, and to
simplify their operation. How to achieve this and how
high-tech sensor technology can also contribute to
innovative prevention and personalised treatment was
discussed at the COMPAMED Innovation Forum 2023 on 12
June. This digital forum, organised by Messe Düsseldorf
and the International Microtechnology Business Network
IVAM, is held every year and, according to Dr Thomas
R. Dietrich, managing director of IVAM, its purpose is to
be “a platform for research and entrepreneurship, to form
partnerships and drive innovations forward”.
