Mission MedicalAutomation.org is a non-profit organization that has been organized to better inform all health care consumers about new health improvements and cost saving technologies. Medicine has always involved the pairing of knowledge and technology in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. Physicians of the twenty-first century have at their disposal an overwhelming abundance of new technologies, however the challenge now becomes how best to select and implement the new technologies for effective and efficient patient treatment.
The mission of MedicalAutomation.org is to provide a forum for the exchange of information on new medical technologies, particularly those involving the automation of medical procedures. This year’s conference theme “Vital Signs: Saving Lives, Cutting Costs” will focus on technologies that have demonstrated a positive return on investment and/or significant error reductions - wireless, robotic, computer, and informatics technologies and devices, as well as, processes that revolutionize the integrated delivery of medical care. In addition, the conference will also highlight topics that describe the growing outreach and telemedicine paradigm for health care delivery, wellness, and preventative medicine and how they will yield significant savings to our rapidly aging population.
