Organized by Guest Nation – Australia
Organizers: David Ackland, PhD and Peter Lee, PhD
Recent advances in computer aided engineering and additive manufacturing are transforming treatment of bone and joint conditions through development of personalised implants and surgeries. Small and medium enterprises often lack resources for research and development of medical implants, with few established pathways to assist them with understanding the regulatory environment critical to their success. The purpose of this workshop will be to:1. Evaluate bottle-necks in current development and commercialisation pathways for personalised implant technologies2. Determine knowledge and technology required for rigorous development and evaluation of pre-clinical and clinical test methods, personalised medical implants and decision support tools 3. Establish a framework or methodology to support the use, and increase the rate of success, of personalised implant technologies.
