What you’ll take away • A practical approach to identifying unmet clinical needs: recognise opportunities to improve healthcare and frame a clear need statement. • Tools to understand patients and stakeholders: use stakeholder and empathy mapping to explore their needs and perspectives. • An introduction to medtech commercialisation: understand key considerations across business, regulation, design and building a team. • Insights from Biodesign in practice: hear real-world experiences and lessons from people working in healthcare innovation. You’ll also connect with peers across healthcare, research and industry who share an interest in improving health through medical technology. Who should attend? Clinicians, researchers, health professionals and aspiring medtech innovators seeking a practical introduction to healthcare innovation. Whether you’ve noticed a challenge in clinical practice or want to explore how medtech innovation works, this bootcamp provides a starting point. No prior experience in innovation or medtech is required. Delivered by the Victorian Medtech Skills and Device Hub (VMH) in partnership with the University of Melbourne.
