Healthcare Product Design Engineering + Nursing + Management

1. Healthcare Product Design Engineering + Nursing + Management Bill Peine, George Chiu – ME Nancy Edwards – Nursing Leroy Schwarz – MGMT

2. Spring 2007 ME senior design + Nursing Leadership class Improve patient handling and mobility Observations Nursing students are not a part of the design team Engineering students prefer to have continuous input and feedback from the “customer” Prelude

3. Generate design concept, conceptual prototype, clinical impact study, and business plan in a cross listed multidisciplinary course between Engineering, Nursing, and Management Nursing and Management students will be full time members on the design teams Engineering students will build functional prototypes in the following semester in Senior Design Provides better education on complete design processes and development for everyone Fall 2007…

4. Identify clinical needs and requirements Liaison with healthcare institutions Investigate state-of-the-art Develop viable business model Market research and analysis Financial analysis and assessment Distribution and support Concept and engineering design Process and functionality Conceptual and engineering design Engineering specifications Analysis and feasibility study Activities

5. 1 hour lecture, 1 hour team meeting and 3 hours of “laboratory” work per week Project proposal (4th week) Midterm report Final presentation to external panel Deliverables Business plan Engineering specifications and conceptual prototype 6 UG (5 ME, 1 MGMT) and 6 graduate students (2 MGMT, 1 DNP, 1 BME, 1 IE, 1 ME) Structure

6. Ease of use Assist and improve patient care and well being Safety and comfort patient and care-provider Assist and improve patient mobility Support, standing, walking – out-of-bed Managing patient care related equipments Viable business model Well developed business plan Requirements

7. Only rhythmic abdominal compression (OAC) device Abdominal CPR Device

8. CrashCart

9. Evaluation at SERH

10. Set common expectations Adapt to diverse schedules and availabilities Creative and flexible course schedules Offset lectures and laboratory schedules Recruit nursing and management graduate students Provide adequate resource for completing prototypes Use technology – CAD models, virtual reality, teleconference, Encourage team effort in all activities Lessons Learned

11. Health Care Product Design Course ME 597B Student Perspective Karalyn Tellio

12. Novel Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Replacement Medical Image Processing with the goal of creating real time patient specific models from MRI/CT data. Current Research

13. Broad introduction to device development Applied introduction to device development Exposes to business, federal regulations, healthcare regulations. Good to know no matter which aspect of the industry you end up entering. Course Preparation for Field Research

14. Experiences in Healthcare Environment • Intimidating • High risk venture • High reward impact • Communication

15. Learning from Experiences • In research and development for the healthcare industry there are three main issues • Money • Funding/insurance coverage is decreasing so the marketability and cost of manufacturing become extremely important. • Time • In the healthcare industry time costs not only in wages but in success rates of procedures. • Ease of use • So many products out there, must be able to figure it out on the spot.

16. Learning from Experiences • The key to success is Communication • Healthcare professional feedback • In design and in market potential
