Medical DeviceInvention Challenges
Invention Challenges - purpose:
To stimulate medical technologyinnovation at Stanford
using real-world problems
Participants experience the process of innovation & learn basic issues of
biomedical technology development
Invention Challenge #1: Can You Invent a Better Approach to Anastomosis?
Invention Challenge #1: Can You Invent a Better Approach to Anastomosis?
USPT0: 60/136707USPT0: 60/136707
The Problem: Repair and replacement of the arthriticknee joint is difficult due to limited access and poor visualization. People who have total knee replacement must decrease theiractivity level and face re-operation as theprosthetic knee will degrade over time.
The Challenge: Invent a minimally invasive approach to diagnose or treat osteoarthritis of the kneejoint. Your invention should ultimately result in faster recovery time, easier and more costeffective rehabilitation and have the potentialto allow patients to return to greater activity.

Invention Challenge #4
“Medical Device for Biologic Detection or Monitoring”
Develop device for the detection and/or monitoring of biologic factors.
Your approach can be remote, implantable, wireless, interface with the Internet, etc.
The monitoring, sensing or detection activity should aid in the prevention, diagnosis or monitoring of a biologic condition.
Examples…
• SenseWear Armband (BodyMedia)
• Sports Performance• Sensors gather data
for: movement, heat flow, galvanic skin response.
• www.bodymedia.com
Examples…
• SmartAid (Battelle)• Wound care• Vital sign monitoring• Real-time
therapeutic delivery• www.battelle.org
Examples…
• Breast Self Examiner (Parsons School of Design)
• In-home mammography system
• Self exam > transfer data to a communication device > info transmitted to MD
Markets• Consumer collect, store, process, transmit,
present physiological & lifestyle data:– Calories burned– Activity level (metabolism)– Sleep states
• Clinical devices used in hospitals, clinics by healthcare providers
• Biological warfare detection/antiterrorism and military (battlefield medicine, detection)
Resources
• Popular and scientific literature– Scientific American, Science, Nature,
New England Journal of Medicine
• Patent resources– US Patent & Trade Office www.uspto.gov– “Patent It Yourself”– OTL http://otl.stanford.edu (for inventors)

Evaluation Criteria
•Innovation•Practicality•Ease of Use•Economic Impact•Likelihood of Commercialization
Evaluation Criteria - INNOVATION
1. Is this a truly novel approach to the
problem?
2. Does the proposal show a thorough
understanding of related principles
and prior work?
3. How does the proposal compare
against known products. Cite specific
strengths & weaknesses
Evaluation Criteria - PRACTICALITY
• Is the proposal reasonable in
terms of engineering and
manufacturing?
Evaluation Criteria – EASE OF USE
• Would the intended user
(healthcare professional or
consumer) be able to use the
device?
Evaluation Criteria – ECONOMIC IMPACT
• Is the expected cost for this
approach practical considering
the potential benefit/value and
comparable commercialized
products, if any?
Evaluation Criteria
– COMMERCIALIZATION POTENTIAL
• Overall rating
- patenting
- potential for licensing and/or
