Medical Device Prototyping Basics provides a comprehensive introduction to the essential concepts and techniques involved in the creation of medical devices. This course emphasizes hands-on experience through project-based learning, allowing participants to engage directly with prototyping tools and methodologies. The focus is on transforming ideas into tangible prototypes, equipping learners with the skills necessary to navigate the complexities of medical technology development.
Participants will explore various aspects of prototyping, including design thinking, materials selection, and user-centered design principles. The course culminates in a final project where learners will develop a prototype of a medical device, which they will have the opportunity to publish in Cademix Magazine. This practical approach ensures that graduates emerge with not only theoretical knowledge but also real-world applications that enhance their employability in the medical engineering field.
