Connected medical and wearable devices rely on wireless connectivity, high-speed electronics, and extended battery life — all while meeting rigorous regulatory and reliability standards. This seminar brings together industry experts to deliver practical, engineer-focused guidance on navigating that complexity without slowing innovation.

Across focused sessions, you’ll explore how to reduce risk throughout connected device development — from early design validation through wireless coexistence testing in demanding RF environments.

You’ll hear directly from George Kokovidis, Lead Wireless Engineer and Manager of the Wireless Solutions Group at Dräger Medical Systems, who will share his real-world perspectives from a medical device manufacturer viewpoint.

Key topics include:

  • Navigating the evolving regulatory and compliance landscape for connected medical and wearable devices
  • Managing wireless regulatory, EMC, and EMI testing efficiently
  • Implementing effective wireless coexistence testing in crowded hospital and home environments

This agenda includes lunch. Demos are available during both the lunch break and the Q&A session.
