The Challenge

Traditional approaches to research and development of medical technology dramatically reduce the potential for innovation and the successful exploitation of scientific discoveries and novel concepts.

Universities, life science companies, clinicians and healthcare providers need to provide the conduit from lab to clinic. All too often this conduit is blocked by the lack of integration of objectives, plans, operations and funding. Even within universities, the traditional divisions between scientific disciplines (physical sciences, medicine, biology, engineering, etc.) slows down or prevents innovation and successful clinical use. The divisions with external stakeholders (clinicians, healthcare providers, life science companies, investors, etc.) further impact innovation, implementation and exploitation.
