2018 Conference Banner 2

4th Annual Systems Engineering in Healthcare Conference

Minneapolis/Saint Paul, April 19 - 20, 2018

The Healthcare Working Group invites you to participate in the 4th Annual INCOSE Healthcare Systems Conference (2018) at Crowne Plaza AiRE Hotel, Bloomington, Minnesota. This Conference will feature important topics from critical biomedical & healthcare sectors such as: cybersecurity, product line engineering, risk management, agile & lean methods, systems architecture and more.

This conference has been described as large enough to include a broad mix of ideas and experience but small enough to fee intimate and encourage networking. Past attendees include the FDA, Accuray, Baxter, Boston Scientific, GE Healthcare, Medtronic, Roche, Scaled Agile, and Stryker.

The conference enables participants to share the best practices in the latest Systems Engineering topics as applied to the Healthcare Medical Technology sectors. The intended audience is Systems Engineers, product developers and testers, Program Managers, Architects, Certifiers, and leaders of organizations developing complex healthcare products, from large Healthcare IT systems to medical devices. Attendees from other domains interested in learning about systems methods in healthcare are welcome as well.

Keynote Speaker, Nathan Torgerson, Director Research and Technology, Medtronic Restorative Therapies Group will speak on "Curb the Chaos: Systems Engineering Techniques to Reduce Cost and Improve Quality in Non-Ideal Conditions "

Plenary Speaker, Steve Abrahamson, Sr Director - Cyber Security, GE Healthcare will speak on, "Medical Device Cybersecurity: Creating a System of Safety, Security, Compliance, and Customer Satisfaction."
