Medical Engineering Design Research Group (MEDRG)

Description

The Medical Engineering Design Research Group (MEDRG) at Nottingham Trent University is an interdisciplinary group, which brings together a wide range of academics, clinicians, surgeons, healthcare companies and other medical professionals whose interests focus on medical engineering design across a wide range of research specialisms.

These include wearable technologies, additive and subtractive manufacturing for medical applications, biomimetics, surgical robotics, augmented/virtual/immersive technologies and environments, and investigative research related to the utilisation of ‘smart materials’ for medical and surgical applications.

The group focuses on:

• robotic technologies and surgical applications;
• surgical pathway;
• medical/surgical device and systems development;
• medical technologies and interaction design;
• extended reality;
• 3D/4D printing;
• robotic cell integration.

The research group seeks to address the changing needs of healthcare research, including:

• Autonomous robotics applications.
• Medical device development and additive manufacturing processes.
• Health management and rehabilitation - including mobile applications.
• Biomaterials - including dental, cardiovascular, ophthalmics and orthopaedics.
• Emergency medical care, systems and procedures.
