Neurotechnology Satellite Conference for the Health Care Professional Population

描述（由申请人提供）：神经技术卫星会议的目标是：1。为参与瘫痪治疗的卫生保健专业人员提供一个展示和展示神经技术最新科学和临床发现的论坛。2. 促进医疗保健提供者和从事神经技术发展的研究人员之间的讨论和合作，以进一步转化和临床应用。3. 衡量本次会议的有效性，并确定目标人群接受的主要障碍。4. 通过万维网和/或同行评议的文献传播会议记录。该项目将为临床医生和研究人员提供一个交流思想和建议的环境，重点关注最适合治疗神经损伤患者的应用。它将以直接反馈和关注这一领域的研究人员的形式促进科学知识的进步。会议将针对临床医生、物理治疗师和治疗神经疾病患者的卫生保健专业人员。经批准，本次会议将通过卫生保健专业人员的既定聚会——美国物理治疗师协会年度联合分会会议进行传播。为了帮助推进科学知识，卫星会议将收集有关临床医生关注和问题的反馈，并将这些信息传播给神经技术研究界。这种反馈可能有助于指导该领域未来的科学探究。会议议程将讨论神经技术的广泛主题和概述，分类和适用条件。用户演示和从业人员的证言将与关于接受障碍的积极讨论一起进行。卫星会议会期为3小时至半天。与会者将接受调查，以获得从讨论中收集到的反馈。结果将以进度报告的形式提供给研究界。这次卫星会议的重要性在于临床医生和研究人员聚集在一起，共同推进神经技术设备的发展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goals and objectives of the Neurotechnology Satellite Conference are: 1. to provide a forum for the presentation and demonstration of the most recent scientific and clinical findings in neurotechnology among health care professionals involved in treating paralysis. 2. To foster discussions and collaborations between health care providers and investigators engaged in neurotechnology development to further translational and clinical applications. 3. To measure the effectiveness of this conference and identify key barriers of acceptance among the targeted population. 4. To disseminate conference proceedings through the World Wide Web access and/or the peer-reviewed literature. This project will deliver an environment to exchange ideas and suggestions between clinicians and investigators focusing on applications best suited for the treatment of persons with neurological impairments. It will contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge in the form of direct feedback and concerns to the researchers in this field. The conference will target clinicians, physical therapists and health care professionals treating persons with neurological disorders. The dissemination of this conference will be through an established gathering of health care professionals, the American Physical Therapist Association Annual Combined Sections Conference, upon approval. To help advance scientific knowledge, the satellite conference will gather feedback regarding clinician concerns and issues and disseminate this information to the neurotechnology research community. This feedback may help to direct future scientific inquiry in this field. The conference agenda will address the broad topics and overview of neurotechnology, categories and applicable conditions. User demonstrations and practitioner testimonials will follow along with an active discussion regarding barriers of acceptance. The satellite conference duration will be 3 hours to one half day. Participants will be surveyed for feedback gathered from the discussion. Results will be provided to the research community in the form of a progress report. The importance of this satellite conference is the gathering of clinicians and investigators to collaborate toward the advancement of neurotechnology devices.
