Opportunities for new devices for diabetics
05/05/2012
Commercial opportunities to develop new
devices for diabetics will be showcased in the first of a series of events by
industry specialist Medilink.
The seminar, "Assessing Market Opportunities:
Devices for Diabetes,” on 29 May 2012 at the Signing Tree Conference Centre in
Birmingham, UK, will look at the demand for novel devices and treatment
techniques that support safe and high quality diabetes management.
Designed to help manufacturers and designers
assess this complex market, speakers from Diabetes UK and Medilink, as well as
practicing clinicians, will explain which direction this market is heading,
review the current stable of devices available and identify the real needs of
patients, carers and commissioners.
Events manager Lucy Watkins said, "With 1 in
20 of the population now being treated for diabetes, the cost of treating the
disease in Europe currently stands at 90 billion euro – a figure that is set to
rise. We know that new ways of caring for patients and reducing the burden on
hospitals must be found. That’s why we have teamed up with clinicians and
Diabetes UK to help manufacturers, product managers and device designers spot
new product development opportunities.”
