MEDRC establishes a partnership among the microelectronics industry, the medical devices industry, medical professionals, and MIT. Working together, we innovate and improve the cost and performance of medical electronic devices.
Our projects are defined by MIT faculty, physicians and clinicians, and our industrial partners. We work together to conduct research, create device prototypes, and develop clinical tests that make healthcare innovation a reality.
The MEDRC vision draws on experience and expertise from across MIT in order to establish the collaborations critical to success.
Successful realization of a vision demands innovation. The Medical Electronic Device Realization Center (MEDRC) is revolutionizing medical diagnostics and treatments by bringing healthcare directly to the individual and to create enabling technologies for the information-driven healthcare system of the future. This vision will in turn transform the medical electronic device industry.
The MEDRC serves as a focal point for established businesses, for venture-funded startups, and for the medical community. The Center fosters the creation of prototype devices and associated intellectual property and aims to serve as the catalyst for the deployment of innovative healthcare technologies that will improve the delivery and reduce the cost of healthcare in both the developed and developing world.
Brian Anthony teams researchers and physicians with industry to accelerate advances in patient care.
A radical change is taking place in how medical care is being delivered, with care delivery moving to ‘point of care’ rather than having patients travel to a doctor’s office or hospital.
As our technological devices become smaller and more portable, healthcare companies are tasked with creating medical devices that can go unnoticed by the user while collecting long-term data.
