THE DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY – INSTITUTE OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING AND HEALTH TECHNOLOGIES (DLSU – IBEHT) HELD THE IBEHT NEW PROJECTS VIRTUAL KICK-OFF EVENT” LAST MARCH 26 VIA ZOOM MEETINGS.
DLSU-IBEHT serves as the national institute for R&D, training, and knowledge and technology transfer in the field of biomedical engineering and health technologies in the Philippines. IBEHT’s main goal is to pave a way in accelerating the development of biomedical devices and technologies by providing state-of-the-art facilities and services to universities and research institutions, enabling them to transform their ideas into market-ready products.
This event highlighted the new projects that were given funding through the Department of Science and Technology – Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (DOST-PCHRD).
It also aimed to increase awareness of the initiative and efforts of DLSU in developing impactful technologies and showcased the importance of collaboration and partnership in advancing research and technology commercialization.
IBEHT Director Dr. Nilo Bugtai delivered the opening remarks while Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation Dr. Raymond Tan presented the IBEHT Advisory Council. Delivering messages of support were DLSU President Br. Raymundo Suplido FSC, DOST-PCHRD Executive Director Dr. Jaime Montoya, University Controller Ma. Inores Palmes, and Supply Chain Management Office Executive Director Cynthia Ruth Abangan. CAPACITA Project Director Atty. Christopher Cruz, PhD, delivered the closing remarks.
In his message, Br. Ray cited the AGAPAY team, now entering Phase 3 of their research project led by Dr. Renann Baldovino; the TAYÔ team led by Dr. Armyn Sy with collaborators from the De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute, now in Phase 2 of their research to develop the robotic rehabilitation device for the lower extremities; and Dr. Bugtai’s LAPARA team, which is developing a modular laparoscopic surgical robot and a minimally invasive robotic surgical system.
The CAPACITA project led by Atty. Christopher Cruz aims to build the capacity of researchers, inventors, and technology transfer personnel in the commercialization of biomedical devices and health technologies. Another initiative, the KANDILI project led by Pamela Tadeo, seeks to build DLSU’s intellectual property management system to help project teams devise their strategies for identifying, evaluating, protecting, and marketing their technologies and intellectual property.
The post Biomedical engineering and health technology projects launched appeared first on De La Salle University.
