{"ModuleCode":"BN5501","ModuleTitle":"The Singapore-Stanford Biodesign Process","Department":"Biomedical Engineering","ModuleDescription":"This module is jointly offered by the Singapore-Stanford Biodesign Programme, the National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University. It leads students through the Biodesign Process, which spans clinical needs finding and analysis; brainstorming and concept implementation; and development of business, regulatory and reimbursement strategies. The course emphasis is on the development of needs-based solutions for real medical problems. Industry veterans will be invited as guest lecturers to share real world perspectives. Students will be expected to put theory into practice by delivering a prototype and business plan.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"3-1-0-3-3","Prerequisite":"Graduate students enrolled in Engineering and Business faculties","AcadYear":"2014/2015","History":[{"Semester":1,"Timetable":[{"ClassNo":"1","LessonType":"Lecture","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Wednesday","StartTime":"1830","EndTime":"2130","Venue":"NTU Alumni"}],"IVLE":[{"Announcements":null,"Forums":[],"Workbins":[],"Webcasts":[],"Gradebooks":[],"Polls":[],"Multimedia":[],"LessonPlan":[],"ID":"643d6e9c-0d25-4419-9e20-760004196da8","CourseLevel":"1","CourseCode":"BN5501","CourseName":"THE SINGAPORE-STANFORD BIODESIGN PROCESS","CourseDepartment":"","CourseSemester":"Semester 1","CourseAcadYear":"2014/2015","CourseOpenDate":"/Date(1406649600000+0800)/","CourseOpenDate_js":"2014-07-30T00:00:00","CourseCloseDate":"/Date(1417881540000+0800)/","CourseCloseDate_js":"2014-12-06T23:59:00","CourseMC":"0","isActive":"N","Permission":"S","Creator":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Leo Hwa Liang","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"9e4e2764-b5c8-41fa-ba3e-04b0a5565b39","AccountType":null},"hasGradebookItems":false,"hasTimetableItems":true,"hasGroupsItems":false,"hasClassGroupsForSignUp":false,"hasGuestRosterItems":false,"hasClassRosterItems":false,"hasWeblinkItems":false,"hasLecturerItems":true,"hasDescriptionItems":true,"hasReadingItems":true,"hasAnnouncementItems":false,"hasProjectGroupItems":false,"hasProjectGroupsForSignUp":false,"hasConsultationItems":false,"hasConsultationSlotsForSignUp":false,"hasLessonPlanItems":false,"Badge":0,"BadgeAnnouncement":0,"WebLinks":[],"Lecturers":[{"ID":"a7dee52c-02e3-40ad-b7ba-147b9ef8cf57","User":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Leo Hwa Liang","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"9e4e2764-b5c8-41fa-ba3e-04b0a5565b39","AccountType":null},"Role":"Lecturer ","Order":1,"ConsultHrs":null}],"Descriptions":[{"ID":"4db7743d-84e1-4e15-9a07-11b0bbfee029","Title":"Aims & Objectives","Description":"The Singapore Stanford Biodesign process module seeks to nurture and train the next generation of Asian medical device innovators through a hands-on teaching process.

Briefly, Singapore-Stanford Biodesign (SSB) Programme is a joint partnership between the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), the Economic Development Board of Singapore (EDB) and Stanford University. Modelled after the renowned Biodesign Programme at Stanford University, SSB seeks to nurture and train the next generation of Asian medical device innovators for Singapore and Asia. BN5501 is also called the SSB Innovation Class, which is a didactic 6-month structured curriculum jointly offered by NUS and NTU to graduate students from medicine, engineering and business studies. The SSB class is a project-base accelerated training of the Biodesign Process, where students will work on real-world clinical needs provided by the SSB Fellows.","Order":4},{"ID":"6b5576e4-7cb3-4a9a-b873-e22b2f629a62","Title":"Assessment","Description":"Needs assessment - 20%
