3DHEALS EVENT RECAP: Legal Landscape of Healthcare 3D Printing – Knowing the Unknown

As the organizers of 3DHEALS events, it may surprise people that we could never accurately predict the outcome of 3DHEALS conferences. That includes what the speakers will discuss, what kind of audience we will attract, and what kind of new connections will be made.
Since its inception, 3DHEALS events have pleasantly surprised us in many ways every time.  The community we have attracted is small, intimate, but also powerful and capable. That is probably the most constant thing we can predict.
For our August 3DHEALS legal conference, we had the pleasure of listening to the most original presentations on legal issues related to healthcare 3D printing, from IP/Patent concerns (Erik Birkeneder from NixonPeabody), to medical device liability (Colleen Davies from ReedSmith), to new digital security software development for healthcare 3D printing (Stephan Thomas from Identify3D).   The Q&A session moderated by past FDA fellow Dr. Mirza was as stimulating as the presentations, as the audience was composed of the usual mixed of intellects with backgrounds ranging from healthcare consultants, legal, journalist, engineering, environment risk scientist, healthcare providers, and beyond.
Our readers can watch the recordings of the conference on YouTube soon.
