FDA plans to hold a conference on healthcare technology in the home Sept. 17-18, 2007 at the University of Houston Hilton Hotel and Conference Center in Houston, TX.

Participants at the conference will learn how the government and home care industry can work together better to provide a safer environment for medical devices in the home. Participants will also have an opportunity to hear presentations given by home healthcare technology experts in multiple plenary and general sessions, in addition to gaining more in-depth knowledge via smaller breakout sessions.

Sessions will follow a technology, government, or clinical tract for specific device groups. Sessions will also highlight how devices are getting into the home, what barriers there are in the environment for safe operation, and what barriers there are with the caregiver or patient while using the device.
