The Innovation Ambassadors speaker series provides an opportunity to see what research and innovations are coming from various areas of the university. See what your colleagues are working on and how you can engage in the innovation ecosystem here at Western and in the local community.
The speaker series will feature faculty members from across campus and special guest panelists from industry.
The sophistication, maintenance, and supply needs of modern biomedical equipment used in the developed world is taken for granted. However, much of this equipment is not suitable outside of urban centres with many supporting resources. Creating biomedical technologies designed to operate in remote or low-resource environments would have an enormous impact on the health of the world’s population. October’s speakers will discuss Western’s Frugal Biomedical Innovations Program and provide and example of such technology.
