Residential Suite
Rehabilitative Care Suite
Improve patient outcomes in an interactive development space. Help patients avoid long recovery times and improve their experience as they rehabilitate. Assess device and patient performance; optimize devices and protocols. Innovate in wearable, assistive, and rehabilitative robotics and devices.
Controlled Care Suite
Operate in a “high touch” environment; optimize workflow. Testing is critical to ensure medical device safety. Flexible floorplan gives options such as doctor’s office, ICU, ER, recovery room, and other care settings. Test your device for cyber-physical administration of “companion diagnostics” and therapies, and in automated systems such as robotic lifts and transfers.
Surgical Imaging Suite
Accelerate innovation within an iterative development environment that simulates an operating room with medical imaging capabilities. Easily navigate from the clinical setting to R&D. Bring to life your ideas in robotic surgery, implantation, and other image-guided, cyber-physical-aided interventions.
PracticePoint is supported by these founding partners:
- Massachusetts Technology Collaborative
- GE Healthcare
- The MITRE Corporation
