Field Orthopaedics, founded in 2016 by former Army doctor Chris Jeffery alongside a team of doctors and engineers including hand surgeon Greg Couzens, has spent $600,000 and 18 months taking its “micro screw” from concept to FDA clearance, which was officially granted on July 17. This compares with the average $39 million and 31 months that medical ...
In recent decades, with the continuous technological breakthroughs in enzyme engineering, it has become more and more widely used in industry, agriculture, medicine and health, energy development and environmental engineering. ...
Preventing Flu in the First Place “After you and your family have lived through the flu once, it’s safe to say you’ll want to do anything you can to prevent future infection,” said Emergency Medical Physician and Engineer, Dr. Jae Pak. Many doctors and government entities such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ...
One of the missions being championed is to celebrate digital advancement and champion the women forging innovation through technology, and this mission reflects what Arbutus Medical’s team also believes. Arbutus Medical was founded by three engineers, one of them a woman. Two years ago, founder Elise Huisman shared her experiences of being ...
Power reliability for hospitals continues to be transformed by the ongoing evolution of backup power solutions. It also continues to be challenged by global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and more frequent power outages. That is what ASCO Power Technologies discussed with Jacek Grabowski, Senior Project Engineer at Leach Wallace Associates, during a recent ASCO Power Industry Perspective ...
Innovations and Iterations In the consumer tech world, iterations happen very fast, though most inventions are not ‘one and done’ masterpieces: the Dyson cyclone vacuum cleaner made 5,127 prototypes. In the medical device world, development takes longer because of the appropriate and necessary regulations and need for safety. Using an agile approach, but with safety and reliability ...
Medical applications Recombinant DNA technology has promoted the large-scale production of various medically valuable enzymes. ...
From conception to finished commercial product, medical devices requires innovative engineers and product designers, experienced project managers, quality control experts, and substantial regulatory expertise to make that transition a successful one. ...
The design goal was to empower healthcare workers at all levels of expertise to make life-altering decisions at the point of care — while removing the technical barriers and capital outlays contributing to the high cost of healthcare. Thus, began the process of designing a handheld ultrasound device. The developers were Dr. Amin Nikoozadeh, of Stanford University and founder ...
Breath has lots of moisture. To see, just blow on a mirror and watch it fog up. Getting rid of the moisture on the mirror is easy: just wipe it off. Getting rid of moisture in a breath sample is more complex, but can be done with a bit of engineering and Nafion™ tubing. We have found ways to remove up to 90% of moisture from a patient’s breath sample. Moisture: Why You Need it Gone? ...
Biotechnologies provide a fundamental crux between improving laboratory sciences and the medical field. The development of these new technologies requires both technical prowess and a keen business sense so that the products reach the people that need them. ...
The pairing of healthcare practitioners with engineers can produce products to revolutionise patient care. This paper discusses benefits of a novel-design ambulatory assistive device to promote gait efficiency and safety in adult individuals with balance disorders. Posterior-wheeled walkers are commonly used and reported in paediatric research literature to promote increased walking speed and ...
The issue of hospital acquired infections is a serious problem. According to several sources, three to four million hospital-acquired infections occur annually, with up to 80,000 fatalities. The costs of these infections are estimated to be between $4 billion and $5 billion per year (Air-Treatment Systems for Controlling Hospital acquired Infections, HPAC Engineering, April 2, 2008).Healthcare ...
Social development in health services is concerned as a global issue. More than nine million people die due to internal organ failure and one percent of this number is due to liver disease. In 1990, more than 27,000 deaths in the USA were caused by liver failure. From the numerous reviews on liver failure and associated support therapies, there is increasing interest in this field throughout the ...
Nowhere is this more critical than in the medical sector. Evidence has shown us that the ability to identify correctly the social values, the stakeholders which mediate the social values, and the resources which act as tokens for the social values, is vital in determining the success or failure of the system. Various medical information system failures can be ...
