HSD recently completed a new program to convert an Apple iPhone 4 & iTouch into a revolutionary new medical device.  The DermScope is the world’s first intelligent dermatoscope, designed to address all of the important modes of skin visualization. DermScope helps Doctors to improve their confidence in diagnosis while increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the exam.  Images can be instantly sent across the globe for consult. The injection molded case minimized the external profile giving the unit a simple intuitive feel.

NCIIA organizes two annual biomedical engineering competitions for university students. The objectives of these competitions are to identify and recognize innovative, commercially promising medical devices and technologies developed by entrepreneurial student teams.

Teams of students working with faculty and industry mentors submit entries that are evaluated by judges drawn from academia and industry. Winning entries must solve a clinical problem; meet technical, economic, legal, and regulatory requirements; feature novel and practical designs; and show potential for commercialization. Submissions are judged on technical feasibility, clinical utility, economic feasibility and market potential, novelty and patentability, potential for commercialization and benefit to quality of life and care.
