The objective of the conference is to develop the concept of innovation in the medical devices, through two aspects : a general methodology, developed by BioDesign, of Stanford University, with whom we signed a partnership and the development of this methodology in France. This methodology will be focused on the topic of developing new medical devices to meet the challenges of aging and independence of older people. This course also aims to make students work in groups on a topic of innovation, by applying theoretical concepts.
