  1. Biomedical Engineering Design: Teaching Innovation Matthew R. Glucksberg October, 2013

  2. Biomedical engineering is a discipline that advances knowledge in engineering, biology and medicine, and improves human health through cross-disciplinary activities that integrate the engineering sciences with the biomedical sciences and clinical practice. It includes: 1) The acquisition of new knowledge and understanding of living systems through the innovative and substantive application of experimental and analytical techniques based on the engineering sciences, and 2) The development of new devices, algorithms, processes and systems that advance biology and medicine and improve medical practice and health care delivery.

  3. Engineering Design User needs Stakeholders and Design Input Design Process - Requirements - Specifications - Proof of Concept - Prototyping - Manufacturability (cost) Design Output and Testing (Verification) Validation

  4. BME, FDA and Design

  5. BME Design for Underserved Populations

  6. Underserved Population? The poor The young “Small markets” Main problem everywhere is cost, especially the cost of consumables

  7. Infant incubator Formula feeder Oral rehydration Arsenic removal Hand hygiene Rx Compliance UVGI for TB Digital X-ray HIV Inactivation Hospital bed Homeless diabetics Neg. press. socket Prosthetic alignment IMCI Tablet HIV monitor STI screen Pediatric monitor Fetal alcohol screen Diabetes monitor Premie apnea Premie CPAP Capstone BME Design Projects

  8. Deaths attributed to 19 leading factors,by country income level, 2008 WHO 2010

  9. Percentage of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs)attributed to 19 leading risk factors, by country income level, 2008 WHO 2010

  10. Things are complicatedThings changePolicies make a difference The disease burden is different in the different places

  11. Solutions?(from my perspective in Chicago) • Give money • Build things • Give stuff • Educate • Change the system – sell stuff • Get out of the way Perhaps all of the above, but understanding is the key to design in any environment.

  12. Global Health Technologies &Community Health Technologies Undergraduates and MS students in an immersive training environment. Solving health problems through design

  13. Premature Infant Care

  14. Infant Incubator
