BGU and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) launched a joint project last spring to develop medical devices for children.
This international collaboration brings together the technical and engineering capabilities of BGU with the medical expertise of CCHMC physicians.

BGU and CCHMC have selected three pediatric medical devices to research and develop, which have high potential to improve patient care and reduce costs to the healthcare system.
These include a smart sensing catheter, a surfactant delivery device, and an image-guided needle insertion device.
Each project was developed and is being led by a team comprised of a BGU engineer and a CCHMC clinician or surgeon.
“What makes this project likely to succeed is the fact that clinicians and engineers will be working side-by-side on developing the devices,” says Prof. Yosi Kost, Dean of BGU’s Faculty of Engineering Sciences, who developed the surfactant delivery device.
