The Eye and The Chip (Oct, 8- 10, 2023)

Sunday, October 8, 2023, 8:00 AM - Tuesday, October 10, 2023, 5:00 PM, The Westin Southfield


Non-CME Attendance (19.50 hours)

The 2023 research congress will bring together about 30 research leaders from at least 12 nations to explore their current endeavors. Our goal is to establish collegial relationships among scientists from about the world. We believe we have proven conclusively over the past two decades that collegiality enhances cooperation, and that cooperation accelerates progress.

1. Have a clear understanding of which blind patients will eventually benefit from a visual neuro-prosthetic device, gene therapy and/or stem cell treatment.
2. Be aware of which patients will benefit from a device within the eye, and which blind patients will benefit only by a device interfacing directly with the visual cortex of the brain.
3. Have some knowledge of the surgical techniques and challenges related to device implantation.
4. Now with nanoelectronic devices from the U.S., Germany and France being implanted in studies, the attendee will finally begin to see the advantages of several very different restorative device initiatives.
5. Some will form additional collaborative groups to accelerate the process of chip development use.
6. Update progress in the field of chip development and implantation challenges and successes.
7. View the development process of a complex medical device and will recognize the role played by the US FDA in bringing forth safe and effective medical devices for American public.
