My work in the design of medical devices spans over many fields. Check out my specific projects at: web.mit.edu/drz/www.
My passion is developing inexpensive, technologically appropriate medical devices for application in low income and disaster relief settings. I believe that these new device technologies These new devices will benefit the lives of millions that did not previously have access to the specific medical treatments and eventually, will . It will also help to reduce healthcare costs in developed environments for those that currently do have access. I aim to challenge the entire device community to practice responsible design with a value-per-dollar mindset in the core competencies of their businesses. This is the focus of One project that highlights my work in this field is my PhD thesis in on the field design of a simplified negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). sNPWT) device, which specifically focuses on application in low resource settings.
