The center is currently in its start-up phase, however, it already has started to conduct low-risk clinical trials centering on innovative healthcare product and device development, clinical research process adaptive design and evaluation, and interdisciplinary collaboration among multiple ASU departments and colleges, community healthcare institutional partners, and biotechnical companies. A clinical trial on a cardio-graphic impedance device has successfully been done and several other innovative medical device clinical trials are in development.
center for healthcare innovation & clinical
trials projects will include:
- Interdisciplinary medical and healthcare product, physical environment, and process/outcome development collaborations that lower complexity, offer more convenience, improve quality in the delivery of healthcare, and empower an informed consumer and health care practitioner in making product choices
- Creation and execution of product development plans for new product concepts from students, faculty and other individuals including healthcare providers
- Research and testing through clinical trials for new healthcare devices, physical environments, products and processes
- Educational offerings for clinical research management, healthcare innovation, healthcare product and environment design for nursing, allied health professionals, community physicians and biotechnical entity personnel
product/processes and environment innovations
should offer benefits such as these:
- Medical equipment that improves safety and sterility
- Healthcare solutions that prevent/control infections
- Medical solutions that improve clinical impact
- Reduced recovery time (in days)
- Better utilization of Specialist's time
- Medical technology that provides labor savings
- Medical innovation that reduce potential for preventable errors
- Medical products that reduce risk /Sustaining medical technology
- Medical products with improved patient convenience
- Lower cost treatment setting, such as home healthcare solutions
- Self Monitoring medical equipment with high quality and ease of use
- Product uniqueness/originality - patent readiness
- Rapid development opportunities with minimal research required
- Products targeted for middle age/senior (i.e., non invasive diagnostics, preventive)
- Wellness and self care/ management
- Physical hospital and healthcare physical environments that promote a healing
- Environments are safe, efficient and functional for healthcare workers
