Values

We are a multidisciplinary team consisting of engineers and clinicians.
We value:

• Engaging busy clinicians in the innovation process
• Addressing the common problems of encountered in interventional and surgical settings
• Efficient need-identification
• Merging clinical and engineering insight
• Rapidly evaluating solutions

Vision

We aim to be a leading collaborative in medical innovation that attracts entrepreneurial physicians and clinically-focused engineers.  We will refine a process of innovation that addresses high-impact problems and leads to the rapid creation of intellectual property and ultimate development of products.

Strategy

We will recruit a multidisciplinary team of innovative clinicians and progressive engineers with diverse technical strengths and perspectives.  New projects will be selected through frequent ‘innovation cycles’ based on clinical needs and a team leader will be assigned to each project.  Engineers and physicians will form project teams that collaborate to develop prototypes based on clinical input, seeking external advice as needed. We will supplement our design process with education in key aspects of biomedical innovation. We will establish collaborations with clinical experts, business strategists and solicit funding to expedite the translation of ideas to finished products.
