Loker will provide a view of changing healthcare for the better in 2020 and the longer term. "The future to affordable and quality care rests on device innovation in two distinct areas: Devices that improve efficiency of treatment listing costs for routine diagnosis and treatment, and devices that provide incrementally higher value based on better quality of life," stated Loker.
