Medical Development Group’s March 3, 2010 Forum: Neonates to Nonagenarians: Critical Needs of Under-Served Populations

Waltham, MA, February 26, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Despite numerous initiatives such as Patient Centered Medical Home and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the Future plus media and government focus on problems and costs of healthcare delivery, infants and late life adults remain under-served patient populations.

The two populations are excluded from clinical trials due to vulnerability and regulatory concern for the frailty, sensory neurological limitations, and susceptibility of the patients. It is also a reality, however, that there are not enough financial incentives for medical manufacturers to develop products to extend the indications specific to these patient populations.

Experts in the field and stakeholders in the business of geriatric medicine, and pediatric products will discuss the realities, important issues, value proposition, and challenges for treatment and prevention that encompass technology innovation, providers, patient quality of life, as well as regulatory and reimbursement.
