2010 Call for Papers

We are now accepting submission of preliminary papers. Click here to submit your paper.

The Design of Medical Devices Conference seeks original papers that demonstrate new technologies and applications in the field of medical device design. Submissions from academic and industry researchers, clinicians and practitioners are encouraged. The paper should present an unbiased description of an experiment, product or business method related to medical devices. Commercialization must be avoided, for example, repeated references to branded products or trade names or excessive use of corporate logos or trademarks in illustrations. Papers are two to eight pages in length.

Authors of accepted papers will be invited to present in the conference poster sessions.

Along with the poster presentation invitation, the authors of approximately 10 accepted papers will be invited to present their work in condensed form in the “Three-in-Five” competition session at the conference, a way for researchers to get immediate feedback about their projects from leaders in medical technology research, engineering and commercialization.

All accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings of the Design of Medical Devices Conference, available as a CD to conference participants. The abstracts from the accepted papers will also be published in the ASME Journal of Medical Devices.
All authors are encouraged to expand their conference papers into full-length papers for submission to the ASME Journal of Medical Devices through its normal journal article submission process.

Schedule for paper submission and review:
Preliminary papers due: December 15, 2009
Reviews completed and notification of acceptance: January 22, 2010
Final paper due: February 15, 2010
