The 2007 Design of Medical Devices invites contributed papers on medical devices in areas related to conference track themes. The primary presentation format for contributed papers will be the conference poster session although some papers may be invited for session presentation. The conference themes are cardiovascular, neural, MEMS/nano and new product design and business development. Medical device papers not related to conference themes may also be considered. All papers are peer reviewed and will be published in the Proceedings of the 2007 Design of Medical Devices Conference which will be available in CD format approximately one month after the conference.

The Design of Medical Devices Conference is a leading international forum for academics, industry, and students to gather around the topic of medical devices. The DMD event is unique in its ability to mix those from academic research and from industry in a neutral format. The 2007 conference is the sixth in the series and in 2006 had over 600 registrants. The conference takes place April 17-19, 2007 on the University of Minnesota campus, Minneapolis MN. Information about the conference is at www.me.umn.edu/dmd
