From Bedside to Bench - Developing OxiWear for Chronic Disease Patient Empowerment

Join Shavini Fernando, Founder & CEO of OxiWear, for an insightful session on the journey of transforming patient needs into cutting-edge wearable technology. Inspired by her own battle with severe pulmonary hypertension and silent hypoxia, Shavini will share how personal experiences drove the development of OxiWear, a continuous oxygen measuring device designed to empower patients with chronic illnesses.

This session will explore the entire innovation cycle, from identifying critical gaps in patient care at the bedside to translating those needs into a clinically validated, wearable medical device. Shavini will discuss the challenges of medical device development, the regulatory and commercialization hurdles, and how OxiWear is shaping the future of chronic disease management.

Attendees will gain valuable insights into:
✅ The importance of patient-centered innovation in medical technology
✅ The evolution of wearable health monitoring for chronic disease management
✅ The intersection of regulatory, clinical, and commercial pathways in bringing a device to market
✅ How OxiWear empowers patients to take control of their health and avoid silent hypoxia-related complications

This session is ideal for healthcare professionals, researchers, medtech entrepreneurs, and patient advocates looking to understand the critical role of patient-driven innovation in the healthcare industry.
