This short 5-day hands-on certificate course is designed to give a detailed overview of Biomedical device development from an industry perspective. The program would touch upon the entire process from conception to development of devices from research, regulatory, clinical, marketing, engineering and legal perspective. The emphasis would be given on the engineering part starting from capturing the requirements and converting them into specifications which would translate into a functional module and later on into a prototype ready for testing and bringing you close to the market. The program will be a guide on how to start from scratch to develop a fully functional prototype for your idea/research. This is especially useful for young faculty and students who wish to apply to BIRAC Biotechnology Ignition Grant and other startup grants for career development. This will also benefit mid-level and senior-level academics who wish to teach Biomedical Engineering courses and set up labs in their colleges.

The course would be divided into following subparts for medical device development:
Academia Vs Industry - what’s the line that separates academia from industry and what are the crucial elements in a successful translation.
Regulatory Basics
Project Management Basics
Project Planning (Requirement capture till prototype)
Pre-clinical Research, Design & Development (DFM(Design for manufacturing), DFA(Design for assembly), Fabrication techniques, Design Management
Pre-clinical and Academic Clinical Testing
Business 101 - Making a business model
Who May Benefit:
Academics (Young, mid-level and senior-level) that need to translate ideas to biomedical products or wish to apply for startup grants for career development or setup companies
Physicians that have a medical device idea and wish to know the basics of how to get started
Biomedical Engineering (or other STEM) majors who want to learn about medical device development
People fresh out of college that need a basic primer on device development for their job/career development
This course is NOT for seasoned medical device project professionals
Hands on Facility:
Yes, using software and demo for the following:
For research methodology
