A sophisticated software has reduce by almost half percent the complications caused by prosthetic devices that are fitted to patients with trachea problems. The program will allow customized therapies.

The event  focuses in two areas in which cooperation between engineering and medicine is being particularly successful: the biomaterials, the new Information and communication technologies (ICT). These new technologies allow both  the repair of human body with materials compatible with living tissues, and  the design of new techniques for minimally invasive surgery that will help ubiquitous treatments. All this, aided by new advanced diagnostic and treatment planning from a distance.
