Not to be missed!
MEDICA & Compamed 2007
Anyone who’s somebody in medical manufacturing heads for the MEDICA trade fair held annually in Germany with 4,200 exhibitors from 65 countries at the show, as well as 320 more at Compamed, which runs alongside MEDICA to present manufacturers with everything from new materials, components, pre-products, packaging and services to complex micro systems and state of the art nanotechnology.
Again this year MEDICA will hold a sharp focus on networks and communication. For example, members of ZVEI - the association of the German electrical and electronics industry – will present light signalling solutions. Bluetooth SIG, a co-operation project of high-tech companies that include Nokia, Intel, Microsoft and Toshiba, will highlight application possibilities of Bluetooth technology in healthcare institutions.
Highlighting advances in teleradiology also will continue, as will telecommunication between doctors and patients, particularly the chronically ill. All this, and more innovations for in- and out-patient care, including electro medicine and medical technology, laboratory technology and diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, physiotherapy, textiles, medical furniture and equipment, will be on show.
Among the forums, e.g. MEDICA MEDIA and MEDICA MEET IT, the Physiotherapy Forum is likely to attract physiotherapists in droves.
