MEDRC - Model
• Each sponsored project jointly created
by industry, academics, and clinicians
 maximizes chance of project
success.
• Industrial scientist on-site at MIT 
company stays engaged, project stays
relevant, technology transferred to the
company.
• Early prototypes placed in “customers”
(clinicians) hands in parallel with
research technology development.
