The Healthcare Technology Applications Conference will be held from 2 to 3 of June 2010, during the Hospital Build Middle East Exhibition & Congress.

The conference will discuss the latest information on how to use technologies to lower healthcare delivery costs, improve efficiencies in hospitals, reduce medical errors and streamline the patient's experience.

Dr Rolf Ulrich Hartung, Associate Professor of Surgery at the Dubai Medical College, will explain how integrated technology applications such as 'Patchless Controlled Technology (PCT)' will enhance surgery management in the operating room (OR).

In fact, PCT technology can improve surgery and improve control of all equipment necessary for surgery such as light source, electrocautery, air insufflators, irrigation pumps, it also reduces the workload of the nurses.

Hartung added "Surgeons strive to decrease the trauma of any operation to the minimum and therefore new technology is needed. It is also our aim to improve the safety and quality of care and this is specifically important for surgical procedures."
