Guest Presentation

• Assuring medical device safety and quality has become a huge global issues due to exploding volumes and complexity, the number of players involved in ensuring devices are safe and in good order, rising regulatory obligations, and poor transparency across supply chains and a specific asset's operating life, which may run as long as 10 years.
  
  Spiritus CEO Susan Ramonat and CTO Bob Clint will share more about the problems faced by health systems, device manufacturers and 3rd party service providers.  They'll also describe how they're leveraging investments in tagging and tracking technologies and data standards, along with DLT/blockchain, geospatial services and analytics to provide much-needed traceability, verification and actionable analytics about a device's safety and quality status.
