NORWALK, Conn. - June 3, 2013 - Dr. Robert Greenberg, CEO of Second Sight and key developer of the Argus® II Retinal Prosthesis System, will participate in a fireside chat with TMC CEO and Editor in Chief Rich Tehrani (News - Alert), discussing the past, present and future of bionics in professional healthcare at the Wearable Tech Expo, TMC (News - Alert) announced. The Wearable Tech Expo is being held July 24-25 at the Kimmel Center at New York University in New York City.
Technologies like the Argus II have now moved from the realm of theory into practical reality. Hospitals throughout the United States are now preparing to drive surgery that, through a combination of implanted and wearable technology, will restore sight. The discussion will range from today's profound new realities to tomorrow's eventualities.
"Bionics are the ultimate expression of wearable technology that today are restoring hearing to the deaf and sight to the blind," Greenberg said. "I'm looking forward to bringing this discussion to the Wearable Tech Conference audience." The full Wearable Tech Expo agenda is available on the Wearable Tech Expo site and boasts a wide range of industry leaders, topics and cutting-edge technology, products and services, including everything from sensors to bionics to the latest in clothing and accessories.
"Wearable technology presents an opportunity to make a profound impact in fields such as healthcare," Tehrani said. "Dr. Greenberg is at the forefront of this movement, and I look forward to sitting down with him to discuss how the latest wearable technologies are moving into the healthcare mainstream, and what this means for the future of the industry."
