The goal is to generate a Medical Metrology and Standards Roadmap from diverse stakeholders that will identify social and economic benefits of improved measurements and standards to the US Healthcare Infrastructure and establish future directions. There will be invited talks from leaders in clinical medicine, medical device companies, medical societies, and government agencies whose mission involves healthcare. The Symposium will include some short talks from NIST researchers, NIBIB staff,and NIBIB-funded investigators. The invited talks will be followed by panel discussions to address questions/comments from participants and elicit ideas and content for the roadmap. Online attendance is free and participation from all stakeholders is encouraged.
