The Medical Device Partnering Program (MDPP) is an initiative of the Medical Device Research Institute (MDRI) at Flinders University that supports the development of novel medical devices and assistive technologies. We’re an ideas incubator – supporting early stage innovation and technology development. We’re all about bringing to life ideas for new medical devices – whether they come from a medical professional who sees the opportunity to solve a problem, the user who designed their own solution, a company that sees the opportunity to diversify their product portfolio or an academic who wants to connect their ideas with application. Some come to us with problems to be solved, while others come to us with the solutions that just need the right expertise to make them fly.
