Developing Leaders in Biomedical Technology Innovation
The breadth of knowledge in the life and physical sciences has grown exponentially, while technology has become increasingly complex. At the same time, the business of delivering quality health care has become increasingly difficult and expensive. Creating new, cost-effective medical devices that improve patient care requires a collaborative approach that focuses on the needs of patients, physicians and the health care industry as a whole. At Biodesign, we are refining a method that produces both world-class innovators and state-of-the-art medical devices.
The Biodesign method
...embodies the spirit of collaboration behind Bio-X, emphasizing a team-based approach to biomedical engineering. Courses and fellowship teams are composed of graduate students from medicine, business and engineering.
...is based on the premise that innovation can be taught, learned and practiced.
…is an experiential teaching method used in our year-long fellowship programs. Multi-disciplinary teams are led through three well-defined stages:
* Need Identification
* Concept Development
* Business/Project Planning
