About this Session:

With over 1000 patents to his name and a track record that includes pioneering the first wearable insulin pump and founding FIRST Robotics, Dean Kamen represents the rare combination of visionary inventor and practical problem-solver. His current projects at DEKA Research read like science fiction made real: the Twiist Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) system that detects blockages/occlusions up to 9 times faster than other AID systems, the HemoCare home hemodialysis system that works while patients sleep, and the Daisy intradermal vaccine applicator that could revolutionize how we deliver immunizations and therapeutics. Kamen's inventions tackle some of healthcare's most persistent challenges with solutions that are both technologically advanced and surprisingly practical. Further, Dean is building an ecosystem of innovation that connects medical device development with education, entrepreneurship, and the fundamental belief that technology should serve humanity's greatest needs. So what impossible problems is he solving next?
