Website announces acceptance of CMS' Rural Health Transformation Program
The MedTech Conference, taking place in San Diego from October 5-8, is set to be a pivotal event in the healthcare industry. Hosted by the Medtech Association, this year's conference promises insightful discussions, town halls, and sessions that aim to shape the future of healthcare.
One of the key topics on the agenda is closing the gender health gap. Kearney will lead a discussion on this matter on September 30, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM. This session is expected to provide valuable insights into addressing disparities in healthcare for women.
Scott Whitaker, the president and CEO of the medtech association, has expressed appreciation for the leadership of Secretary Kennedy and Administrator Oz. The conference will also feature a town hall with FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) Director Michelle Tarver and senior leaders to discuss the center's strategic direction and priorities. Another town hall will be held with FDA leaders to update the audience on the center's strategic direction and priorities.
The conference will also delve into the legal insights on AI integration, a crucial aspect in the evolving digital health landscape. Morrison Foerster will host an event on September 23, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM, to explore the evolving legal landscape surrounding artificial intelligence in medical devices.
The health technology sector is designed to serve patients, clinicians, and hospitals wherever they are. The MedTech Conference will highlight how medtech and digital health technology innovators are creating products, services, and systems to prevent, diagnose, treat, and monitor various health conditions.
The Rural Health Transformation Program, a significant initiative, aims to improve the connectivity of care systems and offer personalized, accurate diagnoses, treatment, and monitoring in rural areas. The program, which has been announced by the CMS, will provide states with the opportunity to access the latest health care technologies that best suit their needs. This program is considered a critical solution to the challenges faced by rural communities in America, as digital health technology, including AI, will play a key role in serving patients and clinicians in these areas.
The MedTech Association has welcomed the introduction of the bipartisan Reforming and Enhancing Sustainable Updates to Laboratory Testing Services (RESULTS) Act. This Act, introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate by Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Raphael Warnock (D-GA) along with Representative Richard Hudson, aims to improve health outcomes for rural Americans.
The conference will culminate with the presentation of the 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award to Mike Mussallem, former chairman and CEO of Edwards Lifesciences. Bobby Patrick, SVP of Government & State Affairs and Alliance Development at the Medtech Association, has highlighted the importance of The MedTech Conference 2025 as a platform for patients, policymakers, and innovators to share stories, shape policy, and build alliances.
The MedTech Conference 2025 promises to be a comprehensive event that brings together key stakeholders in the healthcare industry to discuss and shape the future of healthcare, with a particular focus on bridging gaps and serving rural communities.
