Successful trip to Minnesota for the DMD Conference

Exchange, insights, and network building

Unsere Reise nach Minnesota zur DMD Conference (Design of Medical Devices) war für AKRUS ein voller Erfolg. Die Konferenz gilt als wichtige Plattform für den Austausch zwischen Medizintechnik, Forschung und klinischer Anwendung – genau an dieser Schnittstelle setzen wir auch in unserer täglichen Arbeit an.

For us, the key value was the dialogue. Through presentations, discussions, and many one-to-one conversations, we gained deeper insights into current developments in medical device design, engineering, and real-world application. We particularly valued the opportunity to connect with participants from industry, research, hospitals, and start-ups. This enabled us to expand our network and gather new perspectives on requirements, workflows, and innovation approaches.

Connecting with the Institute of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Minnesota

One of the highlights was making contact with the Institute of Mechanical Engineering led by Arthur Erdman, one of the conference committee members of the DMD Conference. The exchange was very inspiring and closely aligned with topics that are central to AKRUS: engineering excellence, practice-oriented development, and solutions that perform in everyday clinical use.

Conclusion

We are taking many valuable impulses and new contacts back with us from Minnesota, and we would like to thank everyone we spoke with for the open exchange. For AKRUS, the DMD Conference was an important step in engaging with international developments and strengthening connections for future projects.
