The Signal

DeviceTalks West is a highly focused medical technology event held in Silicon Valley. Unlike broad policy conferences, this event dives deep into the engineering, prototyping, manufacturing, and product management of medical devices. Sessions cover sensor integration, wireless power, cyber security, and design for manufacturability. For digital health and software as a medical device (SaMD) operators, it provides valuable technical insights into how hardware and software must interface under clinical standards.

What to expect

Launches of new medical-grade sensors and power management components
Case studies on developing secure wireless connections for implantable devices
Expert panels on manufacturing automation and sterile packaging design
Updates on global medical device testing and quality assurance regulations

Who is in the room

Medical device engineers, product managers, quality assurance specialists, industrial designers, and hardware components vendors.

Background

Part of the DeviceTalks series founded by WTWH Media, DeviceTalks West was created to serve the concentration of medtech engineers and developers on the West Coast of the United States. It has evolved to place a strong emphasis on robotics, connected sensors, and digital-physical medical integrations.
