MEDRC projects have the advantage of insight from the technology, medical, and the business arenas, significantly increasing the chances that a device will fulfill a healthcare need as well as be profitable for companies supplying the solutions.
With a new trend toward increased healthcare quality, disease prevention, and cost-effectiveness, such a comprehensive enterprise is crucial and a doorway to improved healthcare practices nationwide.
MEDRC research projects are defined jointly by faculty, researchers, physicians, and clinicians, along with the Center’s industrial partners. A visiting scientist from a project’s sponsoring company, present at MIT, serves as the champion translator for bringing innovations back to the company for commercialization, providing the industrial viewpoint necessary to realize the needed technology.
