Subteams
Product Development
The product development subteam is a collaborative group of students that focuses on the innovative design and construction of the proposed project idea. This process generally consists of developing rough prototypes and adopting new iterations that improve the efficiency and practicality of the product. Members of this subteam possess a wide variety of skills including the ability to model with CAD software, 3D print, prototype with Arduino’s, design printed circuit boards, and develop user applications that communicate with our device. This team is multidisciplinary in nature but is generally composed of biomedical engineering students and computer science majors.
Outreach & Design
The outreach and design subteam is responsible for guiding design proposals and researching real life clinical problems and needs. Through active conversations and outreach with physicians and other technical professionals, the subteam explores product design function and feasibility from a clinical perspective and evaluates how the project team’s solutions compare with current metrics and practices. We are a multidisciplinary committee and work with the other committees to shape the overall product idea.
Business
The business subteam is responsible for all matters related to business development and research regarding device patentability, reimbursements made by Medicare/Medicaid, estimated manufacturing costs, and identification of potential markets. Business members gain hands-on experience conducting patent research and business analysis for our devices. Business is also responsible for outreach to potential sponsors and other fundraising.
Media
The Media team is composed of graphic designers and web developers. The graphic designers are responsible for managing our social media accounts and designing team gear, as well as preparing flyers, presentations, and handouts. The webmasters are responsible for managing our team websites, including our general, LinkedIn, and Giving Day pages.
