Welcome again to the New Zealand Healthcare Congress for 2015. This extremely successful healthcare conference is being held for the fifth consecutive year and will be jointly hosted by the Medical Technology Association of New Zealand (MTANZ) and the New Zealand Health IT Cluster (NZHITC).

An exciting addition this year is our partnership with the Consortium for Medical Device Technologies (CMDT) and Callaghan Innovation to present HealthTech week. The range of events include the inaugural MedTEch Centre of Research day, an Innovation and Investment Forum a Boot Camp and Monday Forum.

The theme of the 2015 HealtHcare congress: DelIVerIng tHe FUtUre, toDaY

This year we want to investigate what medical technologies are becoming available to deliver healthcare more efficiently with improved patient outcomes in the future. What can we do now to ensure that what New Zealand invests today, will make a difference in the future?

Technological advances, empowered consumers, disruptive new entrants and rising demand by the aging population are ushering in a new era of healthcare. The lines between scientific, computing, data, IT and healthcare discoveries are blurring. How can we decide what is best for New Zealand?

We encourage you to join us at the Healthcare Congress and learn what is happening in our extremely important healthcare sector. Your support is critical to the success of our Congress.

Bernard guy Lecturer, Industrial Design, School of Design. Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand

After more than a decade in the oil and mining industry Bernard Guy turned his focus from engineering to industrial design,

first working in the field of robotics and medical simulation then entering academia. His research has evaluated the design

of anaesthesia equipment and the design and production of a simulation device for teaching and retaining endoscopy skills.

Increasingly he focuses on introducing novel technologies of design to clinicians in healthcare. Design physiology is a useful

way of describing Bernard’s approach to the design of a device or product, where dominant mechanical techniques of

manufacture are traded for a physiological approach. His design methods employ 3D scanning, 3D printing and digital CAD

technologies to produce facial prosthesis, synthetic anatomies for simulation, preoperative planning models, and biological

inspired designs. Motivated by the novelty and close association of 3D printing to anatomy, Bernard’s research, teaching and

commercial collaboration encourage performance and economic benefits through processes that no longer adhere to the

traditional rules of mass manufacture.
