This year's theme is Designing for Reality: Building MedTech That Works Across Systems, Not Just in Ideal Conditions.

Now in its seventh installment, the Women in MedTech Breakfast has become a cornerstone of the DeviceTalks experience. On May 28, the tradition continues with a fireside chat with Carla Goulart Peron, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Royal Philips, where we will discuss the importance of designing medical devices for the full spectrum of real-world conditions from the outset, ensuring innovations are accessible, scalable, and effective across all economic environments, not just ideal settings.

The program continues with curated small-group breakout discussions led by senior leaders from Medtronic, Abbott, Boston Scientific, and more.
