Manufacturing Beyond Gravity: Unlocking the Potential of Space for Innovation on Earth
Location: Level 3 Ballroom
Tuesday, February 6, 2024 | 9 - 10 a.m.
Axiom Space is building for beyond by operating Private Astronaut Missions to the International Space Station today, while developing its successor — Axiom Station, the world’s first commercial space station. Manufacturing in space represents the next frontier for innovation and potentially the next giant leap for solving industry challenges on Earth. Axiom Station’s access to microgravity could enable commercial-scale manufacturing of materials with fewer defects, more uniformity, and improved quality. This session will highlight Axiom Space and a panel of pioneers that are taking the first steps towards in-space production of biomedical and advanced material products. These foundational results provide opportunities for the development of a robust commercial space economy that has strong implications for advanced manufacturing on Earth.

Transforming the Future of Patient Care with Human Machine Interfaces (HMI)
Location: Level 3 Ballroom
Wednesday, February 7, 2024 | 9 - 10 a.m.
At MD&M West, Ms. Samproni will share her vision for the growing role that human machine interfaces (HMI) will play in the future of medical device innovation. With the human experience becoming inherently more digital and connected – consumer devices and applications now manage a wide range of tasks for users every day – Ms. Samproni will focus on how medtech companies can approach product design to remain competitive. Beyond utilizing HMI to create innovative medical devices that meet consumer expectations, they should also take a closer look at how it can transform the future of health and patient care.
Her presentation will highlight the critical importance of HMI innovation and strategies for medical device designers and manufacturers. Topics include:
- The role that medical devices will play in helping to manage the increasing demands of a healthcare system caring for an aging population
- The rise of connected health – and how to ensure that devices powering connected health have intuitive designs to facilitate their use and improve health outcomes
- How to design innovative, future-proof medical devices to deliver easier, faster, and reliable access to quality care to the increasing numbers of patients facing chronic illness
