3D printing is slowly making its way into the life sciences. One example is Carbon, which has developed a 3D-printed elastomeric, bioabsorbable material, which does the job and then disappears.

One of the recurring themes during the HLTH conference’s early sessions has been how different technologies are gradually diffusing into healthcare. AI has become essential for industries as diverse as banking and ride sharing but has only recently started making an impact in the life sciences.

Another example is 3D printing, which is really good at printing relatively simple structures but has trouble with smaller, more complex items, such as capillaries. As part of a track called Fringes of Health Science on the first day of the HLTH conference, Elle...
