Innovations typically begin with an idea, seeking a problem fit for the potential solution. The Biodesign process starts with identifying the problem first.
Through intensive immersion in the everyday life at hospitals and clinics, multidisciplinary design teams translate their observations into needs and problems. A clean slate enables these teams to identify overlooked challenges. The Biodesign programme seeks to find solutions for the health care sector while training innovators to address actual needs instead of focusing on developing new technologies.
