Medical Devices

Challenge Area Goals

  • Develop an understanding of medical problems that can potentially be helped with medical devices.
  • Invent, design, build, enhance and test medical devices.
  • Make the translation of medical devices to the clinic more efficient, effective and safe.

 “The medical devices research effort in Madison and the upper Midwest has achieved a significant critical mass. At Morgridge, we hope to catalyze pivotal translational and transformational research in this field to make medical devices to this region what computers and software have been to Silicon Valley.”
T. Rock Mackie, Director, Medical Devices
