Transforming the Future of Patient Care with Human Machine Interfaces (HMI)

Jennifer Samproni, Chief Technology Officer of the Health Solutions business at Flex, brings over three decades of experience in medical device development, leading both engineering and scientific organizations. She is an expert on the mega trends taking place across the healthcare industry – the rise of chronic illness, shifting sites of care delivery, increasing cost pressures across the continuum of care, and technological advancements ushering in a new era of digital health.

At MEDevice, Ms. Samproni will share her vision for the growing role that human machine interfaces (HMI) will play in the future of medical device innovation. With the human experience becoming inherently more digital and connected – consumer devices and applications now manage a wide range of tasks for users every day – Ms. Samproni will focus on how medtech companies can approach product design to remain competitive. Beyond utilizing HMI to create innovative medical devices that meet consumer expectations, they should also take a closer look at how it can transform the future of health and patient care.

This presentation will highlight the critical importance of HMI innovation and strategies for medical device designers and manufacturers. Topics include:

The role that medical devices will play in helping to manage the increasing demands of a healthcare system caring for an aging population The rise of connected health – and how to ensure that devices powering connected health have intuitive designs to facilitate their use and improve health outcomes How to design innovative, future-proof medical devices to deliver easier, faster, and reliable access to quality care to the increasing numbers of patients facing chronic illness

The focus of Ms. Samproni’s presentation can be tailored to support the needs of the MEDevice agenda and topics. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of how to overcome technical challenges in medical equipment, devices, and drug delivery – and how to approach HMI innovation to improve patient care and ultimately save lives.

This session will also feature Barrett Larson, MD from Smith+Nephew, in a fireside chat with Ms. Samproni on the intersectionality of HMI, AI and machine learning in healthcare.
