Summary

The subject will deepen and consolidate knowledge of quality assurance and control procedures and their use in the development and production of medical devices. This subject will promote an understanding of the importance of user-centred design principles in the development of medical devices, promote the use of best practices in project management, including project planning, resource allocation and risk mitigation. The course will focus on a deeper understanding of interdisciplinary collaboration in the design and development of medical devices, such as communication between engineers, physicians, regulatory experts and other stakeholders involved in the development and commercialization of medical devices. The course will emphasize understanding the importance of innovation and creativity in the development of medical devices, to think critically and creatively about the design and development process in relation to the use of new technologies and materials. Students' communication and presentation skills will also be developed, including the ability to effectively communicate technical information to a variety of audiences such as investors, regulatory authorities and healthcare providers.
