Abstract :
We propose a biomedical instrument development center based in a University in a developing country. This Center is chartered to develop medical instruments based on commodity computers and computer components. The Center will produce world-class products which meet the strictest of US and World standards. The products must be perceived as new and innovative and better than currently available products. The Center will have a strong business focus. Projects and proposals will be initiated and continue on the basis of a sound business plan.
