GVSU Students Bring Medical Device Ideas to Life
January 19, 2016
Students at Grand Valley State University are solving real-world medical problems by designing and building devices for medical professionals.
The devices are being developed in the Grand Valley School of Engineering through a collaboration with Spectrum Health Innovations (SHI), a subsidiary of Spectrum Health that helps health staff develop and launch original ideas, including health care products and technologies. Physicians and medical staff come to SHI with ideas, and through the SHI/GVSU collaboration agreement, work with students who are challenged with developing the ideas and building prototypes.
