Sessions/Tracks

Track 1: Eye and Surgical Medical Devices

Eye and surgical devices  are specially designed tool or device for performing specific actions of carrying out desired effects during a surgery or operations research. Most vision research performed in the United States is prescribed and monitored by an optometrist. For this reason, it is also called optometric vision therapy. Radiography is most useful now a day for therapy or diagnosis of diseases is an imaging technique that uses electromagnetic radiation other than visible light, especially X-rays, to view the internal structure of a non-uniformly composed and opaque object such as the human body

Track 2: Medicines and Orthotics

Orthotics is a specialty within the medical field concerned with the design, manufacture and application of orthoses. An orthosisis "an externally applied device used to modify the structural and functional characteristics of the neuromuscular disorders and skeletal system". An orthotist is the primary medical clinician responsible for the prescription, manufacture and management of orthoses. Medicine is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part, which may be lost through trauma, disease, or congenital conditions. In recent advances most of the people suffering with joint pain for those Joint prosthetic medical devices are used. Biomarkers are used for Diabetic Neuropathy  management, for nephrotoxicity evaluations and for excretory organ operate.

Track 3: Natural and Biomedical philosophy medical imaging

Biomedical imaging’s are the applying of principles and style ideas to drugs and biology for attention functions (e.g. diagnostic therapeutic). Biomarkers could be a measurable indicator of the severity or presence of some malady state. In vitro medical specialty refers to a good vary of medical and Veterinary Clinical Research that are wont to  disease diagnosis and monitor the clinical standing of patients mistreatment samples of blood, cells or alternative tissues obtained from a patient. Currently a day’s laser device based {mostly primarily based} medical aid are mostly used because of their lack of value and fewer time.
