Decision makers and professional experts from the international healthcare industry will soon be gathering at MEDICA and COMPAMED.
From Monday to Thursday (15 to 18 November), MEDICA’s 2,900 exhibitors and COMPAMED’s 490 exhibitors will arrive from a total of 70 countries and fly their flags in the trade fair halls.
“With the exception of two halls, the entire trade fair premises has been booked out again...The development for the start-ups is extremely pleasing...40 start-ups are taking part in the MEDICA 'start-up park' in Hall 12, which is more than ever before,” commented Michael Degen, executive director of Messe Düsseldorf.
Key themes at MEDICA will focus on meeting the entire range of needs for inpatient and outpatient care and will include: lab technology & diagnostics, electrotherapy and medical technology, disposables and consumables, information and communication technology (digital health) and physiotherapy and orthopaedic technology.
A cutting-edge robotic device (from H-Robotics) for training wrist and ankle movement, whose function is based on the principles behind the E-bike, will be one of this year’s innovative products. Its precise assist-as-needed control enables the patient to get the most out of their activities by providing them with the exact support they need during movement, and no more. With telemedical software and a smartphone connection, rehabilitation programmes can also be followed at home under remote supervision using this device.
Significant industry trends, such as an increased demand for digital healthcare solutions and the challenges that service providers face in relation to the new EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), are also reflected in the forums and conferences taking place at the trade fair. The lectures, discussions and award ceremonies can be followed either on-site or online via a live stream, accessible via the industry portals MEDICA.de and COMPAMED.de, depending on the preferences of the ticket holder.
Further highlights of MEDICA 2021’s programme include the 44th German Hospital Conference (as a live stream) and the English language conferences DiMiMED and MEDICA MEDICINE + SPORTS CONFERENCE. These conferences will gather together experts in the fields of military and disaster medicine and in sports medicine and science at the venue in Düsseldorf.
