CYMEDSEC : Enhanced cybersecurity for networked medical devices through optimisation of guidelines, standards, risk management and security by design Vrije Universiteit Brussel
of regulatory, cybersecurity, technology, evaluation, and clinical EU experts to address exactly this challenge. It provides close feedback
loops between new technological paradigms and recommendation of regulatory approaches, fostering regulatory science fresh thinking.
It will deliver novel security-by-design solutions for the oversight of ‘Internet of Medical Things’ ...
Development and validation of second-generation anti-infective, anti-biofilm and pro-regenerative envelopes for sheathing medical devices KU Leuven
The aim of this research proposal is to combine the expertise of Amynas and KU Leuven for development and validation of a second generation of anti-infective and pro-regenerative envelopes for coating medical devices (NanoPocket) in which a molecule with anti-biofilm characteristics is incorporated next to an antimicrobial agent. It is expected that these new Nanopocket prototypes will fight acute infections to the same extent but ...
Exposure to plasticizers leaching from plastic medical devices in Neonatal Intensive Care and impact on the long-term neurocognitive and pulmonary development. University of Antwerp
Development of a technology platform of pre-filled medical devices suitable for intradermal injections in adults. University of Antwerp
Development of a biocompatible nano drug-dispenser coating for medical devices KU Leuven
Advanced Materials for Regenerative Medicine and Medical Devices in contact with the human body. Ghent University
MATMED aims to effect major positive impacts on health and wellbeing in the North-West Europe region by breaking down the barriers that prevent product innovations from reaching both patients and the wider population. The programme supports SMEs working in the fields of Advanced Materials, Medical Devices and Regenerative Medicine, enables high-quality transnational collaborations, and accelerates commercialisation in these medical areas.
High Definition Biofabrication: The doorway to the future of medicine. From organ-on-chip towards advanced medical devices. Ghent University
The present project covers acquisition of high definition bioprinting technology (multiphoton lithography). This technology enables a better mimic of the natural microcellular environment, and is especially essential for the generation of organ-on-chip technology. In this respect, the present project aims to develop the first truly functional cornea-on-chip for drug screening applications as a stepping stone towards other promising ...
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. ...
A cardiovascular simulator for medical device testing KU Leuven
Cardiovascular simulators are a class of tools reproducing the human physiology of the cardiovascular system. With the increasing of computer power, simulators improved in the past decades in terms of accuracy and complexity. The use of simulators is currently increasing in the medical fields and is encouraged by the Food and Drug Administration and the European Commission with the Avicenna Alliance. Simulators can be used to test new medical ...
