“X-rays supporting our testing at GCMI and T3 Labs clearly showed where the device engaged and the tip aligned at the bone level. This kind of evidence is important for our design history file, something that should make our regulatory journey and overall commercialization pathway more efficient.”
Medtech startups or established businesses looking to scale are encouraged to apply for one of the upcoming 16-week accelerator cohorts at the Center for MedTech Excellence. Launched in September 2022, the Center for Medtech Excellence catalyzes the development and commercialization of breakthrough biotechnology, medical devices, life science and therapeutic innovations. Primary areas of focus include…
Funding varies in specific levels from fiscal year to fiscal year, specifically supports projects with high potential for successful commercialization, follow on funding and improved patient outcomes. Projects are selected by GCMI leadership in consultation with the board of directors. These funds are not for staff / salary or lab support.
A “Catheter Gripping Tool” solving an unmet need as GCMI’s grows its roster of collaborative medtech innovations with the Children’s Mercy Kansas City Center for Pediatric Innovation. Human beings are generally good at improvisation. Assembly calls for a 10mm socket? Try this handy crescent wrench right here and maybe it will do. What happened…
GCMI, a non-profit affiliate of the Georgia Institute of Technology, is actively recruiting for a research engineer to lead multiple new medtech product development projects. The medical device design services and product development team at GCMI facilitates medical product development through all phases – from initial concept generation through transfer to production manufacturing. We…
“Because we followed a solid pathway, we had a lot more latitude to make positive changes that should increase the likelihood of clinical utility and positive patient impact for our device.”
The phrase “personalized medicine” has been thrown about by so many for so long in healthcare as to defy definition: or require post graduate work in any one of dozens of specific clinical or technological fields. For the sake of brevity, 3D printing and bioresorbable material technologies are actively realizing personalized medicine in the…
So many engineers probably wanted to be an astronaut as kids at some point or another. Saylan Lukas wanted to design roller coasters. Fortunately for GCMI, our clients and patients benefiting from novel medical technologies, Saylan’s elective in Biomedical Engineering taught by Dr. Sam Hulbert at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology shifted his career course…
“In partnership with Georgia CTSA (Clinical and Translational Science Alliance), the I3 (Imagine, Innovate, and Impact) GCMI Research Awards are intended to spark synergistic interactions among investigators from the Emory School of Medicine (SOM) with Georgia Tech affiliate the Global Center for Medical Innovation (GCMI). Proposals are envisioned to improve patient care by more effectively…
The team’s work to date, from concept to the technology’s current state, had primed it to seize the opportunity presented by the January 2022 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announcement of five new remote therapeutic monitoring CPT codes.
