Click here to apply for one of the eight Fast Round spots.
This is how a ‘Fast Round’ works:

• It’ll be just you and Joe onstage, both sitting on bar stools.
• Joe will ask questions, the kind he’d ask if he walked up to your trade show booth.
• Joe won’t prepare in advance. In fact, the less he knows, the better.
• Joe will start with this question: “So who are you, and what do you do?”
• Questions will flow naturally from there.
• Joe may also ask (so be prepared): “Teach us something about your work (but not in any way self-promotional) that you believe the average guest in our audience may not know.”
• If you choose to bring something onstage, it will be small enough for you to carry on and off the stage.
• You’ll need to fill out a simple one-page template. During our three minutes, we’ll project it onscreen to aid visual learners. It will also appear in show photographs (and can subsequently be used for your social media efforts).
• It will be recorded and professionally edited for your later use, however you see fit.

It’ll be fun, casual, and a real crowd-pleaser. Starring you!

Here’s an sample Fast Round, featuring our mate Stephen Carter. Should we feature you too?
(A modest additional charge assessed to cover production costs.)

During our short break, meet new friends with the technologies and skills to get you to market smarter – and faster!

Break

If you’re in medical devices, you likely need Real World Evidence, patient data, and clinical trials.

The value of this work comes from the ability to interpret data in its many forms. Nyquist Data helps by curating regulatory approval data previously hidden in document. Come with data points you need to pull for something you’re working on.

Presenter Helena Ting (and Nyquist Founder Michelle Wu, remotely) will demonstrate how easy to pull – and how detailed and copy-and-paste-ready presentable – the data you need from any FDA, EU, Chinese, Japanese, or clinical trials database.

It’s an amazing tool. That’s why I had to have them present, and why I accepted their sponsorship.

Come prepared!

We have a lovely fork buffet planned. I get to choose five items (not sure which yet).

So if you have a preference or dietary restrictions, now’s the time to let me know!

Jeff McBride joins Diarmuid for questions and answers after a short presentation. They explain,

“For a medical device to be successful it needs to fulfil three essential criteria. It must fill an unmet medical need, it must demonstrate clinical utility, and it must have the support and endorsement of key opinion leaders. Software, is no different.

Doctors and clinicians are essentially in the business of data acquisition. “”How long have you felt this way?”” “”Where does it hurt?”” “”Have you changed your lifestyle recently?”” Is there a family history of this condition?”” Not all medical devices contain software, and not all health-related software is a medical device.

Understanding the classification of your software product or idea is critical towards determining the success or failure of your start-up company. Development of Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) presents a number of challenges to budding medical technology entrepreneurs. These include a wide range of hurdles to overcome including, finance, investment, technology, hardware, procurement, regulatory, legal etc. etc. The SaMD entrepreneur needs to be a master of all of these, or so it would appear.

SaMD entrepreneurs will get insights into best practices for developing products and meeting the challenges they face. Potential investors can gain insight into the mindset of the SaMD world. Potential suppliers and vendors can discover the most suitable ways of interacting with SaMD companies. Most importantly, by applying a patient-outcome approach towards the successful deployment of novel medical technologies, everyone will empathise and understand the needs and benefits of a successful product journey from concept to market.”

Innovating in the digital health space is especially risky when it comes to intellectual property.

Speaker Stephen Carter will show you where the risks are and what you can do to protect yourself.

Valuable for any digital health entrepreneur.

No offense to our speakers, but this is my favorite part of every 10x.
