Medical Delta is organising a small and exclusive meetup. The meetup is especially for entrepreneurs, start-ups and Medical Delta relations. Festival attendees are however also very welcome to attend this special Life Sciences and Technology meetup.
Are you interested in the future of life sciences, health and technology? The meetup will bring together ambitious entrepreneurs, investors and leading scientists. You'll have the opportunity to listen to inspiring presentations and to extend your network and be amazed by the demonstrated prototypes. Jan Douwe Kroeske will be the inspiring moderator of this session. A limited amount of tickets is available, please register below.
This year Medical Delta will also launch the Proof it – award, the MedTech innovation award of Medical Delta meant for MedTech geniuses. Are you a MedTech genius and looking for money to build your first prototype? Join the contest and win! Visit the Proof it – award website here.

The future of Virtual Reality - Guntur Sandino
Will virtual reality bring hammerhead sharks swimming through our office, elephants fitting in the palm of your hand and dragons flying among the birds? With Google investing $542 million cash in a company developing the possibilities of virtual reality….we sure want to know more! What will the future of virtual reality bring to us and what impact will it have on healthcare? Guntur Sandino, CEO and founder of CleVR will give us an insight in the future, but also current possibilities already developed by his company.

What can you do in one heartbeat? - Tianshi Wang
Every photographer knows that a moving object will lead to a blurred picture, which may be artful but not exact. A cardiologist treating a patient wants to see exactly what is going on in the heart. Tianshi Wang talks about the very small microscope they built using watch parts that takes thousands of photos in the short time between two heartbeats, while the heart stands still. What can you do in one heartbeat?

The Future of Organs on a Chip - Henriette Lanz
Have you ever experienced the heart beating on a chip? What is currently possible and what in the future? Henriette Lanz, senior scientist application development of Mimetas, will give us an insight in organs on a chip.
MIMETAS is a Leiden-based microfluidics company founded in 2013. MIMETAS develops Organ-on-a-Chip technology for testing of new medicines. Its unique microfluidic technology enables testing of new medicines in high-throughput on miniaturized organ models. These models have better predictability compared to laboratory animals and conventional cell culture models.
The basis under MIMETAS is comprised of a unique prototyping and production platform, a world-leading position in passive microfluidics and a unique value proposition based on Organ-on-a-Chip technology. Currently, MIMETAS offers 3D culture microfluidic plates, while validating a range of organ models to be launched soon. Ultimately, the MIMETAS platform will be made available for patients to select optimal, individualized therapies.

E-healing of diabetes: the artificial pancreas for at home - Freimut Schliess
The artificial pancreas for everyday is going to be designed as a medical device in a pocket book format, automatically closing the loop between blood glucose changes and insulin administration rates. Its development follows the lines of a patient-centered innovation process and has awarded a high priority in diabetes-related R&D.
