The workshop will identify priorities and gaps in manufacturing technology.

ASTM International and the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) are partnering to host a healthcare innovation workshop to be held Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2024 at the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld, Orlando, FL in conjunction with ASTM November Committee Week.

Building on an initial workshop held in January 2023, this broader stakeholder workshop aims to collect new insights on technology gaps and set standards development priorities for the biotechnology and biotechnology manufacturing industry sectors. Furthermore, it will invite collaboration among researchers, policymakers, and industry experts to confront biotechnology challenges in modeling, process control, material testing, and more.

"We are excited to partner with AAMI on this important initiative," notes Andy Kireta, ASTM International president. "The goal of this effort is to help a diverse set of stakeholders prioritize and address critical standardization challenges brought about by the introduction of new innovations impacting the healthcare industry."

“AAMI’s mission includes global collaboration in the development, management, and use of safe and effective health technology,” adds Pamela Arora, AAMI president. “This opportunity to partner with ASTM to identify gaps and barriers to innovation in standards development help AAMI address our mission objectives.”
