Hosted by Wyss Core Faculty David R. Walt, PhD, Diagnostics Grand Rounds brings clinicians with unmet needs to the Wyss Institute. The goal of these sessions is to inform technology developers about important clinical problems that can help them direct their technology development efforts. Presenters are asked to identify diagnostic needs that will have an impact on the quality of care they deliver.
Home hospital is the provision of hospital-level care in a patient’s home instead of the brick-and-mortar hospital. Multiple technologies enable this care model, but many technologies are either not well-adapted to the home or have yet to be portabilized, miniaturized, and ruggedized.
Engineers working alongside clinicians have an out-sized opportunity to push forward a burgeoning clinical model.
