Bridging radical science and technology KU Leuven
The proposed project studies the process of bridging science and innovation in particular for radical ideas. The existing industry science literature has explored how firms can benefit from science for their innovative performance. It also has studied how science can be activated to contribute better to innovation. However, there is a gap in both streams of literature as they did not differentiate between types of science and types of ...
Design of water-based radical polymerization processes for nanoapplications using advanced kinetic modeling and reactor technology Ghent University
The project aims at fundamental understanding and improvement of water-based radical emulsion polymerization processes for the synthesis of polymer nanoparticles, implying control over design parameters and a clear view on the interplay between chemistry and transport phenomena on the micro-, meso- and macro-scale. The model allows identification of optimal process parameters for the synthesis of core-shell nanoparticles at industrial ...
SURSKILL - Skill Analysis for Surgical Training and Medical Devices Design KU Leuven
The design and development of surgical technologies takes time and substantial resources. Before reaching the market, these innovative technologies must first prove to be safe and efficient. Currently, the efficacy of the envisioned technology is assessed late in the development pathway. If insufficiently efficient, the technology may not pursue on its way to the market as is, whereas already a significant amount of resources have been spent. ...
Mechanics & mechanobiology of medical textiles for cardiovascular applications KU Leuven
Medical implants are well established in orthopaedic applications, for example fixation plates to support fractured or weakened bone, and more recently, bone grafts to replace missing bone. For soft tissues and organs, medical textiles can be used for analogous purposes, but this research domain is much more recent, with still many unknowns regarding the requirements of the textiles in terms of mechanical properties and their interaction with ...
Science or Technical Skills ? Circulation of academic-theoretical and technical-practical knowledge in the medical professional field in Brabant (1540-1815). University of Antwerp
Decision making in critical medical situations in hospitals within the context of an increasing multicultural (patient/relatives and caregiver) population Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Previous research has shown that values and preferences concerning ...
Smartphone crowdsourced medical data for biomedical research: Addressing the ethical, legal and health policy concerns Ghent University
Smartphone applications for health are being increasingly used as a
platform for collecting and sharing large volumes of crowdsourced
personal health data for biomedical research and algorithm training.
Consumer genetics products are similarly allowing individuals to have
direct access to their own genetic data and to share such data ...
