Synopsis

Every commercially viable novel biomedical device is the culmination of years of detailed due diligence, planning and overcoming many different types of hurdles. While it is important to have a great idea, it is often not enough to develop a great biomedical device. Most people lack the knowledge and understanding of the many commercial and regulatory aspects of developing a biomedical device. BME317 Biomedical Device Innovation aims to equip students and future innovators with the important considerations and planning needed to develop a commercially viable and regulatory approved biomedical device.
