XLVI European Society for Artificial Organs (ESAO) Congress

46th Annual XLVI ESAO Congress is organized by MCI Deutschland GmbH and will be held from Sep 03 - 07, 2019 at Conti-Campus, Hannover, Lower Saxony, Germany.

Description:
The key objective of ESAO 2019 is to promote advances in science and technology for the benefit of human health and contribute to the evolution of medical care. ESAO 2019 provides a unique platform for multidisciplinary discussions from different perspectives and will foster interdisciplinary collaborations in engineering, physical, biological and medical sciences. ESAO 2019 is the kind of International Congress that brings together not only researchers, scientists and clinicians but also industries over the world to interact and share of ideas, knowledge, experience, and research findings.

The motto of the congress organized by Prof. Birgit Glasmacher and her team is „Smartificial devices for our future”. Since its creation, the members of our society have been involved in the development of artificial organs. Some of them are on the market, and often offer the patients a bridge to transplantation, when they are on waiting list, or allow the efficient replacement of lost functions in acute or chronic organ failure.

With the progress of basic science, but also of technology, these artificial organs will become smarter and smarter: miniaturization, remote control, biohybrid systems will lead to incremental innovation or brand novel devices, sometimes considered as “advanced therapies”. These different approaches will have to face new challenges, such as the implementation of new regulations, or the questions of the society regarding the “augmented” human being
