The project I am working on this semester is with IRE's newest partner, DesignWise. DesignWise is a non-profit company that is dedicated to improving health care devices for pediatric patients. Our group met with the founder/CEO Brad Slaker on Tuesday to discuss the requirements and define the scope of our project this semester. The project is to develop an idea that has a patent pending that was filed by an RN from Chicago. Some work has been done, and we have been tasked with carrying it to the next step, which will hopefully be a working prototype if this idea is found to be feasible. The process will involve many experiments and tests to determine if this idea is possible, and if it is economically feasible. The device we are making improvements on is a commodity in the medical world and most likely has to remain a commodity, so the economical feasibility is important to our product. This meeting went very well and I am looking forward to the progression of this project and the future of the partnership between DesignWise and IRE.
