By combining engineering insights with practical healthcare perspectives, students develop critical problem-solving and design-thinking skills essential for driving meaningful advancements in healthcare technology.<\/p>\n<p>Each year, the studio collaborates with clinicians on a chosen healthcare theme. Last year, students tackled challenges in dentistry, working closely with experts in oral health. This year, the focus has shifted to women&#8217;s health, providing an opportunity to address significant needs in this area. Through exposure to diverse clinical themes, the MedTech Innovation Studio broadens students&#8217; understanding of healthcare innovation, preparing them to contribute effectively across various medical fields.<\/p>\n<p>Examples from past years:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Systems for improved mini-screw placement during orthodontic procedures.<\/strong> This project aims to develop systems that enhance the precision and stability of mini-screw placement in orthodontic procedures, leading to reduced complications and improved treatment outcomes. The goal is a reliable, clinician-friendly solution that ensures consistent performance in varied clinical scenarios.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fetal Monitoring in the Labour Ward.<\/strong> This project focuses on advancing fetal monitoring systems in the labour ward to improve the accuracy and timeliness of data on fetal well-being. By enhancing real-time monitoring capabilities, it aims to support clinicians in making informed decisions during labour. The goal is a user-centred solution that enhances both safety and clinical workflow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Project partner: <strong>National University Health System<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Project supervisors:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Dr Mark Chong (<a href=\"mailto:bieskmc@nus.edu.sg\">bieskmc@nus.edu.sg<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Dr Tang Kok Zuea (<a href=\"mailto:kz.tang@nus.edu.sg\">kz.tang@nus.edu.sg<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Studio timeslot in Semester 2 AY2024\/2025:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Thursday 1 pm to 4 pm @ iDP Studio 2 (E2A-03-01)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MedTech Innovation Studio The MedTech Innovation Studio immerses students in addressing real-world healthcare challenges using the Biodesign methodology, with a focus on specifying clinical needs, developing solutions, and implementing impactful innovations.
