Introduction
Innovation for Health does not necessarily proceed linearly from basic scientific research to product development; it is an iterative process of both matching market contemprary needs to technological capabilities and conducting research to fill gaps in knowledge, whether during product conception, product engineering, manufacturing, marketing, or other phases of the innovation process. The course explores how design can be strategically used as a merging above mentioned factors for implementation of the new technologies.
Required preliminary courses
