We are pleased to partner with Dr. Joanna Newton, along with a skilled and motivated team at Georgia Tech and the Pediatric Technology Center to address the severe and unacceptable lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) available to protect our hospital workers from COVID-19.
Fast track answers to critical questions that de-risk medtech innovations When an innovator has identified a medical problem, taking an efficient approach to minimize risk and identify the viability of potential solutions is key. Our Phase Zero focuses on evaluating critical product elements early, minimizing risk, cost and effort. Key questions: What is…

Prototyping is an exciting and important part of the medical product innovation process. Prototypes can give you something tangible to touch and feel – a physical representation of your ideas coming to life. Even better, it allows you to better communicate your idea to others (and can help you raise money by having something to…
Based on decades of collective experience conducting preclinical studies and writing preclinical final reports (both GLP and Non-GLP), our team of subject matter experts has outlined what makes a good preclinical study final report.
Photo courtesy of http://studyclerk.com/ For most medical device innovators, prototyping is one of the most exciting times in product development. Seeing early design images and specs come to life in a physical way is highly satisfying and fun. But this excitement breeds temptation to bypass multiple elements that must precede prototyping if the team is…
GCMI’s Sarah Cohen and Mike Fisher provided substantial insights for Assembly Magazine’s Austin Weber in a recent article, “Best Practices for Transitioning from Design to Assembly in Medical Device Manufacturing.”
The BOTLab team entered GCMI’s Accelerator program with a promising technology, clinical need and prototype. Dr. Darren Roblyer shared with us why the team is making this strategic course correction, learnings from BOTLabs’ time in GCMI’s Accelerator program and next steps.
In mid-November 2019, six student-led Georgia Tech Capstone teams put their medical device ideas to the test at GCMI. These are five of their stories.
Georgia Tech biomedical engineering students Oscar Gutierrez, Ahmed Alnamos, Nishani Kanthasamy and Sondos Alnamos make up the team ‘Bullseye’ for the Fall 2019 edition of the Capstone Program. Their device seeks to provide a solution for patients who are at risk of aspiration but do not otherwise require general anesthesia during Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, or EGD, procedures
