Transforming Healthcare Through Innovation

Collaboration Between Health, Business, and Engineering & Technology

Fueled by a collaborative effort between University of Utah Health, The David Eccles School of Business, The College of Engineering, and The Technology Venture Development Program, the Center for Medical Innovation combines formal education programs, faculty and student project development, and support and facilitation of device development and commercialization. The center creates a one-stop-shop environment that assists both the novice and experienced innovator through ideation, concept generation, intellectual property, market analysis, prototyping and testing, business plan development, and commercialization.

Enhancing Faculty Development & Improving Health Care

At the center we hope to enhance faculty professional development, to develop unique multi-disciplinary educational programs in medical device entrepreneurship, and to improve health care delivery through innovation and real-world applications. The center nurtures an environment that supports students and faculty who not only want to invent something new, but who also want to find ways to launch their invention into the marketplace by providing resources, connections, and expertise.

The Bench to Bedside Competition is an exciting and vibrant program introducing students to the fascinating world of medical and global health innovation through an incentive-based team competition.

Student teams begin in the fall by forming into multidisciplinary start-up companies as they identify unmet clinical needs. Teams then innovate over a six-month period how to meet these needs using a $500 development fund to build concepts. Through the Bench to Bedside Program, each team has access to over 100 University Physicians from a broad range of specialties as well as engineering and business professionals to serve as consultants, key opinion leaders, and stakeholders. In that six-month time period, students will have evaluated the IP landscape, prototyped their design, and constructed a business plan.

The program culminates in April with a formal presentation of team projects at the annual Bench to Bedside Competition. The event draws participation from faculty physicians, residents, industry leaders, venture capital firms, and university leadership. Projects are presented by team members, then evaluated and scored by a VIP panel of judges. Top teams are awarded over $70,000 in prize money to support further project development.

Enthusiasm for Bench to Bedside has been remarkable since its inception. Approximately 200 students and 45 teams participated in the 2016 competition with several teams currently headed toward commercialization.
