Summary

The subject design and development of medical devices covers a number of topics related to the development of safe, effective and commercially viable medical devices. In the course, students will learn about various design and design methodologies and techniques used in the development of medical devices, such as design thinking, human-centered design and iterative design. Design is not only a matter of personal taste, but much more about how to humbly approach users and their real needs. It includes not only understanding their environment and how they use the product, but also the materials that are used and how they affect the user. A true design should be created with humility and at the same time be of good quality, easy to manufacture and cost effective. In addition, it must be aligned with business requirements to be successful in the market and provide a return on investment. The course also includes an introduction to 3D modeling techniques used in design and an introduction to usability principles and techniques, including user needs analysis, user interface, task analysis and usability testing. This course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the product development process, from idea to commercialisation, with a focus on ensuring that medical devices are safe, effective and meet the needs of patients.
