Bringing a Clinical Idea to Market
Dr. Nathan White (Emergency Medicine; Associate Dean for RGE at Harborview Medical Center; Director, Resuscitation Engineering Science Unit) explains how he brought an idea from his clinical practice to market. Dr. White developed Stasys, a medical device that diagnoses platelet health for trauma care. Start with identifying a need or gap in your clinical work. Then seek out experts across the University to find someone doing related work and collaboratively explore solutions. Finally, partner with UW's CoMotion to complete the steps from prototypes to licensing and commercialization. Throughout the process as additional parties become involved, stay committed to the end application you have envisioned for the product.
