Classroom to Clinic: Merging Education and Research to Efficiently Prototype Medical Devices

Innovation in patient care requires both clinical and technical skills, and this paper presents the methods and outcomes of a nine-year, clinical-academic collaboration to develop and evaluate new medical device technologies, while teaching mechanical engineering. Together, over the course of a sing...
