Innovation Fellowship

The Innovation Fellowship consists of forming multidisciplinary teams comprising (though not limited to) engineers, healthcare professionals, and business/industry professionals. The team will be trained in a Health and Medtech Innovation journey based on the Biodesign pedagogy founded by our partner, the Stanford Mussallem Center for Biodesign.

The fellowship features high-touch training and mentorship by esteemed mentors curated by Singapore Biodesign. Fellows get the chance to tap on their mentors’ wide-ranging experience from relevant disciplines such as clinical, technical, venture and industry.

Below is the timeline of the SB fellowship, showing the iterative ‘ Identify’, ‘Invent’, and ‘Implement’ phases of Biodesign.

The fellowship will kick off with a pre-fellowship preparation phase where fellows will spend time researching and understanding the Clinical theme of the year, as well as the Biodesign process. Thereafter, the team will focus on applying the Biodesign process and uncovering local and regional healthcare needs in order to develop a solution for their top identified need. Fellows will get a unique clinical immersion experience in selected hospitals within the Asian region, to identify unmet clinical needs and develop a deeper understanding of the native Health and MedTech ecosystems.

In addition, Fellows will spend time with our Silicon Valley partners to further refine and develop implementation plans for their top projects. They will enjoy unrivalled access to seasoned commercialisation domain experts to increase their chances of securing funding, to continue their projects in the future.
