Research, identify, design, develop, and test an app to track home chemotherapy administration and/or chemotherapy related symptoms.
Scope:
1. Work with BDPI engineers to understand the application, clinical benefits, and complications of chemotherapy administration through a port. BDPI will supply port engineering samples and background information to the students.
2. Evaluate current technology and identify robust user needs.
3. Build a solution that will collect the appropriate information and communicate data to BD.
What students could learn:
1. Medical device research and development process
2. Methods and requirements for medical device app development
3. FDA regulations and validation requirements needed for medical device development and usability testing
