Sensors in Medicine 2021


Event Brief

Sensors in Medicine 2021, the 9th in this annual series and the 2nd in virtual space, is not the largest conference on biosensors but arguably is the most important because it deals specifically with innovative applications in medicine and healthcare. Established biosensor applications in pregnancy testing and diabetes monitoring are now joined by infectious disease, cancer and other diagnostic tests. New Point of Care tests, Linear Flow platforms, Wearable and Implantable biosensors now appear almost daily.

SiM21 seeks to highlight the most innovative advances in biosensor applications in medicine and healthcare. We would like to hear from you if you have developed medical and healthcare biosensor applications, at any stage of development:

  1. Sensor technology, electrochemical, optical and other methods

  2. Sensor systems in which biosensors are incorporated such as PoC or microfluidics

  3. Wearable, implntable or ingestible biosensors

  4. Early stage companies seeking partnerships or finance

In addition to a program or invited and contributed presentations, the Conferene will include:

  • Panel discussions on the future direction of biosensor research and barriers to commercial adoption

  • Poster displays of student reseach, with a competition judged by Conference delegates

  • Exhibition of innovative biosensor applications and support organisations

Registration fees are waived for post-graduate students who present posters - the student must be full-time enrolled in a higher degree program. Written evidence may be required.
Contact us at sim21@sensor100.com to participate in the Conference.
