Welcome to the 5th International Conference on Medical Design (MD2024), a collaborative initiative jointly organized by the Medical Design Association, Chiang Mai University, and Chang Gung University. MD2024 provides an international platform where professionals can share insights and engage in discussions on the forefront of medical design. As the aging population grows, the significance of smart health solutions and advanced medical technologies becomes increasingly critical. Recent breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) have become focal points, catalyzing important conversations about their applications and the synergy between IoT and AI to propel innovative healthcare solutions and opportunities.
This year's conference theme, "Digital health & AI Innovation: Transforming Future Global Healthcare”, underscores our commitment to these pivotal technologies. The essence of the MD conference lies in our commitment to fostering the exchange of high-caliber medical design innovation, education, research, and information among a diverse array of participants. We are thrilled to welcome you to Chiang Mai University in Thailand and anticipate that MD2024 will be a profoundly rewarding and enriching experience for all involved.
