We explore the world of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and the challenges of capturing thought into action. Mark Drlik and Ariana Wilson walk through how these systems translate brain activity into control signals for devices—without needing surgical implants.
Nigel and Nick explore microneedle drug delivery—a growing field in medtech that aims to improve patient comfort and treatment compliance. While the term “microneedles” may sound futuristic, this technology has been around for years.
The impact of shear stress is critical to effectively design medical devices that handle biological fluids such as proteins or cell culture media. For example, non-physiological shear stress (NPSS) on blood is a key factor because hemolysis (cell rupture) could occur due to accumulated stress.
The costs of early-stage medical device development in North America and Europe continue to rise. Increasing technical complexity and the compounding costs of nonclinical and clinical evaluations are driving this trend.
Today, 85% of the top 50 healthcare companies use Computational Modeling and Simulation (CM&S) to develop their products and processes. Whether it’s refining overall device parameters or optimizing critical requirements, engineering simulations help reduce development timelines and enhance design exploration.
