COUNTDOWN TO virtual.MEDICA & virtual.COMPAMED: Innovations from 1,400 exhibitors and extensive session program

Press releases may be edited for formatting or style | November 11, 2020

Online showrooms in the Exhibition Space

The combined exhibitor database for virtual.MEDICA and virtual.COMPAMED is already online in the Exhibition Space. It offers access to the online showrooms from the 1,400 companies. The Casio technology group will take part in MEDICA for the first time. The company’s development engineers have used their expertise in image processing technology for the medical sector and they will present a medical camera created specifically for use in dermatological settings (to record sections of skin close-up and in normal range).

LG Electronics is predominantly focusing on outputting medical imaging data. The company will present monitors with incredibly high resolutions which can be used in surgery or for diagnostic purposes (e.g. for mammography). “They can be used in home offices as well. Then we can do screening outside clinics and practices via teleradiology if we have the right technical equipment”, said Nils Becker-Birck, Director of IT Solutions for DACH at LG Electronics Europe. “MEDICA has become a fixed date in the calendar every year for us. Many of the elements that make MEDICA so special can now also be seen online, thanks to the technical infrastructure of Messe Düsseldorf. We’re very pleased to be able to present new solutions and find opportunities to experience the technology live with interested parties in the weeks and months following the event”, added Nils Becker-Birck.

Microtechnology for fighting COVID-19

Innovations that can help to overcome the pandemic quickly and effectively are the focus at virtual.COMPAMED for the supplier market for medical manufacturing. A large number of companies from the microtechnology sectors are active here. Many of them are members of the IVAM Association for Microtechnology. This Association will organize the English-language HIGH-TECH FORUM in the Conference Area of virtual.COMPAMED and will hold their own session entitled “The Fight Against Coronavirus” (November 17 at 2:00 PM CET). In this context, microfluidics is a core technology for advancing reliable and inexpensive rapid test procedures or point-of-care diagnostics. Microfluidic systems have many advantages, especially short analysis time, reduction of production costs and low consumption of samples or reagents. All points that play a major role in the fight against the pandemic. For example, automated analysis equipment is a prerequisite for extensive testing capacities with regard to the novel Coronavirus. Through parallel and faster processes, automation significantly increases the number of tests, saves personnel and ensures process reliability.
