DEADLINE: Applications for Perth Biodesign Course

16 April 2023 @ 9:00 pm - 9:30 pm AWST

$5000

The 7-month, part-time Perth Biodesign Course brings together multidisciplinary teams to identify unmet clinical needs and work towards inventing a medical technology or digital health solution, whilst learning about the development process.

Teams usually come together once a week, on a Thursday evening, to learn, and put into practice, the course content delivered by course faculty and top local experts. Throughout the course, teams will have regular deliverables that will require further work outside of the weekly meetings, either online or at in-person team meetings. Previous participants estimate the workload of the course at around 8 hours per week.

What You Will Learn

  • Proof of concept prototyping

  • Regulatory and reimbursement pathways

  • Business models

  • Business strategy

  • Dilutive and non-dilutive funding sources

  • Identifying a clinical unmet need

  • Validating a clinical unmet need

  • Market and Stakeholder analysis

  • Brainstorming for solutions

  • Understanding intellectual property protection

The typical structure of a Perth Biodesign team includes passionate individuals with a clinical, engineering/software development, business and/or research background. Our participants range from senior students to experienced professionals, however we encourage anyone with a strong passion for healthcare innovation to make an enquiry.

Previous participants of the course have included business consultants, hospital heads of department, 2nd year undergraduate students, physiotherapists and PhD students.

Course fees are $1,500 for students at UWA or partner organisations, $2,000 for other students, $3,000 for staff at UWA or partner organisations* and $5,000 for others. At the end of the course, given that all deliverables have been completed, participants will receive a $500 reimbursement.
