About iSMIT 2025
The iSMIT annual international conference brings together engineers and physicians from around the world to debate, discuss, and discover next trends in minimally invasive therapies, AI, robotics, and image-guided surgeries. It is an invaluable forum for innovation. In 2025 we will “reimagine the future of surgery”.
Just minutes from Washington DC, Bethesda Maryland is the home of the National Institute of Health (NIH) campus. It is the primary agency of the United States government responsible for biomedical and public health research.
