Medical Device Design Course
2.75 - 6.525 (G-H) Fall
2.750 - 6.025J (UG CI-M)
HST.552
About the Course
Each fall we bring together clinicians, industry
partners and MIT engineers to develop new medical devices that
solve real clinical challenges.
Projects are presented at the beginning of the term, teams are
formed and for the next twelve weeks students and mentors alike follow a structured design process that culminates
in a proof-of-concept prototype.
Projects identified to have a significant impact, a committed
team and a viable market can be continued into the spring term
for the next level implementation.
Since 2004, this class has become a highly effective mechanism
for fostering new research ideas and collaborations, with papers
published, patents filed and some of the projects receiving
subsequent funding and launching as startups. Media

Spring Project Continuation
|
Select projects, where students and clinicians remain engaged,
are invited to continue.
The goal is to evolve from a proof-of-concept to beta
prototype, submit a journal paper and develop a path
forward for the project. Up to 12 units of 2.996 may be offered and for Course 2 seniors this may count as a senior thesis.
