New Medical Devices Will Move Care Into Patient's Home

A professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Medical Electronic Device Realization Center said upcoming medical devices would move a great deal of healthcare into the patient's home, according to a report by EE Times.

 

MEDRC, a collaboration between MIT and two medical technology companies, will develop technologies for patient-monitoring devices, point-of-care instruments and the communication technology to connect patients to caregivers, said Charles Sodini, an MIT professor and co-founder of MEDRC.

 

MEDRC will foster the creation of prototype devices and intellectual property, serving as a focal point for large business, venture-funded startups and the medical community.
