Medical Design Excellence Award

MDEA is the premier awards program for the medical technology community. Sponsored by Medical Device & Diagnostic Industry magazine and organized by Canon Communications, it recognizes the many engineers, scientists, designers and clinicians responsible for the groundbreaking innovations changing the way healthcare is delivered. MDEA winners are chosen based on excellence in product innovation, design and engineering achievement, end-user benefit and cost-effectiveness in manufacturing and healthcare delivery.
