CBID
The Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design is part of the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering as well as the School of Medicine
CBID focuses on the education and development of the next generation of leaders in healthcare innovation, as well as the creation and early-stage development of healthcare solutions that have a transformational impact on human health around the world
The CBID MSE Program is a one-year masters program, that targets this through a combination of clinical experience, global immersion, and engineering design
Our Team
Our team is a group of four passionate engineers, with backgrounds in mechanical, biomedical, and computer engineering. Throughout the course of the year, we are dedicated to exploring different areas of women's health care in Uganda. In doing so, we seek to identify unmet clinical needs, and work towards the development of innovative solutions.
We will spend three weeks immersed in the patient care pathway in Uganda. Through thoughtful ethnographic observation and interviews, we hope to fully understand the most critical needs in women's health in Uganda.
Our Mission
To investigate and understand issues in women's health in Uganda, empathising with all players in the care pathway, and to develop sustainable interventions to positively impact patient outcome and experience.
Project Areas
Our Areas of Exploration
In this trip, we plan to explore the following three areas of Women's Health in Uganda.
Breast Cancer
Avenues of accessible breast cancer treatment, including the potential for a one-visit approach to treatment and diagnosis.
Maternal Health
Improved outcomes for all mothers in Uganda, including emergency obstetrics and an improved labor and delivery protocol at large.
