Webinar on Entrepreneurship by Jia Yee Lee

Business model canvas is a strategic management tool used by established businesses or startups to define or revaluate their business model. In the seminar, Professor Jia-Yee Lee will provide examples of how the tool can be used to commercialise medical devices. About the presenter: Professor Jia-Yee Lee is the inaugural Director of the Centre for Advance Defence Research and Enterprise (CADRE-OCE) at the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, University of Melbourne. She works alongside the Australian Defence “Operating in the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Environments” (OCE) STaR Shot Program to foster engagement and partnerships between Defence, industry and academia to co-design and co-develop novel technologies that addresses CBRN threats. She is also the Co-Centre Manager focussed on industry engagement and research translation at the ARC Training Centre for Medical Implant Technologies.

The use of patient specific prostheses in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

The use of patient specific prostheses in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery By: Professor David Wiesenfeld & Mr Ricky Kumar The use of Patient Specific Prostheses in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS), along with Virtual Planning have become the standard of care in all fields of OMS, including Oncology, Orthognathic surgery and TMJ Reconstructive Surgery. Implementation in facial trauma surgery, is the next challenge with in-house manufacturing to be implemented in the future. Maxillofacial Oncological Surgery creates great challenges for patients, it is potentially mutilating and morbid, with the resection of both tumour tissues and normal tissues to create an adequate surgical margin to enable cure. Free tissue transfer is the standard for reconstruction, the bone flaps must be sculptured and fitted along with their soft tissue pedicles and adequate soft tissue to replace and repair the surgical defects. Modern radiology including Computed Tomography integrated with Angiography shows the tissues and their blood supply, enabling the design of more complex reconstructions. The reconstructions must be 3 dimensionally formed and fixed in situ to the residual bone stock. This is the role for patient specific implants, reconstruction plates that are virtually designed by surgeons and engineers working together. A new innovation is combining this planning with the use of conventional dental implants to reconstruct the dentition. Congenital, acquired facial deformities and temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) pathology cause significant functional and self-esteem issues for patients. Congenital facial deformities such as clefts can be managed with corrective jaw surgery (Orthognathic surgery). TMJ reconstruction has been greatly advanced in the last decade with total joint replacement / reconstruction with prosthetic replacement. Both orthognathic surgery and TMJ reconstruction are now being done with virtual surgical planning and patient specific implants. This has led to significant improvements in outcomes and reduction in morbidity. This part of the presentation will highlight the advantages and pathway of planning and delivery of the prosthesis using recent Melbourne cases.

"Mass Personalisation in Healthcare through 3D Printing" by Mr Kyle Shapland, Materialise

In a world where one size fits no one, Materialise believes everyone deserves a truly personalised care. Personalised treatment leads to care with better outcomes. Care that is more efficient and sustainable. The next steps are scaling these treatments and going from helping one patient to helping millions more. Thanks to Materialise’s pioneering 30-year track record, we can achieve the best in treatments with mass personalization through 3D technology. Let’s make individualised care the new standard.

Personalized Anatomical Modelling: Now and the Near Future by A/P David John Saxby

“Musculoskeletal models are the basis for much of modern biomechanical research and its application. However, their credibility as tools to aid critical processes in design, manufacture, and human health rests on how well these models reflect both the form and function of the individual. In this seminar, I will outline a continuum of approaches to personalization of musculoskeletal models, from simple to complex, and consider their respective merits and flaws. I will conclude by providing examples of new methods or integrated approaches that the Griffith Centre of Biomedical and Rehabilitation Research (GCORE) are developing within the Centre for Medical Implant Technologies (CMIT)."

"Tech& Regulatory Env: Keys to Successfully Navigating a rapidly Changing World" by Prof Nik Zeps

"Technology & Regulatory Environment: Keys to Successfully Navigating a rapidly Changing World" by Prof Nik Zeps ABSTRACT: Technology and the regulatory environment: Keys to successfully navigating a rapidly changing world There is no better time than now to be engaged in harnessing the rapid advances in technology into practical solutions to improve the lives of people. Advances in medical technology have been at the vanguard of such translation into life-enhancing applica-tions. However, advances in technology also create challenges for the regulatory frame-work and it is clear that the current frameworks, whilst mostly robust, are fraying at the edges in light of technology such as 3D printed medical implants and Software as a De-vice (SaaD). In this presentation Prof Zeps will explore how the regulatory environment is responding to the challenges and what you can do to navigate it more effectively.
