We don't want to build a new pump; we want to build a set of requirements for manufacturers that have been sitting idle for too long without being forced to innovate for the safety of patients and the workflow of the nurses.
Students have come out of here with a siloed education, nurses and engineers. There's not a natural inkling to work together; they might not even know the importance of collaborating in that way.
I realized how important it was to have a front-end-user perspective built into the products rather than trying to back-engineer it when it's 90% done.
Having a better understanding of frontline clinician knowledge is a fundamental part of our overall program of research on improving the safety and usability of IV smart pumps.
I realized I liked academia — I was a better student as a 40-year-old than as a 20-year-old — and I knew I wanted to go into academia and try to recreate the nurse-engineer pairing in the academic environment.
