Medical Device Design, Evaluation, and Commercialization

Explore the opportunities and need for medical devices through the examination of mortality and morbidity with special attention to medical problems that affect patients' productivity. A market and need-driven systems engineering approach is applied to the examination of medical device design. The designs of medical devices are then studied through a layered approach of examining the underlying physiological mechanisms, the applicable biomedical sensors and actuators as well as the control processing power requirements. Exemplary medical device solutions are studied.
