The center will bring clinical and bioengineering faculty at both institutions together with an advisory board of leaders in the musculoskeletal products industry. The goal of the center is to jointly define issues that hinder innovation and ideal patient outcomes, and then identify potential solutions.
The center will also fund proposals from various disciplines, including material science, biomedical engineering, nanotechnology, biosensors, implant design, information technology, healthcare economics and advanced imaging.
“There is a pressing societal need to create more value placed on the money spent towards medical technology, and thereby manage the increase of healthcare costs without sacrificing the benefits of innovation,” said Vijay Goel, PhD, co-director of the new center and endowed chair and McMaster-Gardner Professor at the University of Toledo.
