SMIT Conference 2011

The 23rd Conference of the Society for Medical Innovation and Technology (SMIT), which will take place in Tel Aviv, Israel, September 13-16, 2011.

SMIT was originally founded in order to advance minimally invasive therapy at a multidisciplinary level, in an attempt to reduce patient trauma arising from surgery or radiological interventions. Today, however, the Society aims to attract a broader spectrum of participants, including representatives from most medical specialties, instrument manufacturing, start-up companies, biomedical engineering and research.

Academic, clinical and commercial topics will be addressed at the conference, in an effort to present the latest knowledge available in the various fields.

SMIT, the Society for Medical Innovation and Technology is the only multi-disciplinary organization that is focused on new technologies in medicine. The organization has active members from various fields of interventional medicine, such as minimally invasive surgery, cardiology and cardiac surgery, interventional radiology, MRI and related fields, as well as researchers from faculties of biomedical engineering, computer sciences, robotics and industrial design. Academic, Clinical and Commercial topics will be addressed at the Conference, in an effort to present the latest knowledge available in the various fields. The Conference will be held in conjunction with the 14th Israeli Symposium on Computer-Aided Surgery, Medical Robotics and Medical Imaging (ISRACAS 2011).
