Delivering healthcare to patients in austere environments calls for innovative approaches. The challenge is to apply proven problem-solving capabilities to the design and development of medical devices and technologies specifically targeted to improving care in underserved patient populations, both at home and abroad. Coupled to stimulate adoption and training, a "setting-driven" approach can serve to enable a culture of innovation. Building on existing local resources and insights can be a model for decreased reliance on medical product importation and stimulate greater focus on developing local infrastructure, economy and clinical skills to maintain sustainable healthcare.

CIMIT’s Global Health Program is focused on developing instruments, equipment and training programs for low-resource settings.
