Students will apply human centered design thinking principles to develop prototypes for further validating in part 2 of the course.
Commercializing Discovery
Part 2 of this course will teach students the basic tools and skills needed to commercialize healthcare inventions. Taking the prototypes in from Design Lab, students will assess the intellectual property landscape and design approaches to protect their ideas. Students will develop go-to-market strategies for their innovations, learn to assess and financially model the business value of their prototypes, pitch their ideas, and create financing strategies with mentoring from industry experts.
