How  We  Measure  the  Impact  Viability  of  our  
Solutions  
Appropriate technology often requires a nuanced approach to design that
combines simple solutions, elegant technologies and robust engineering to make
technologies survive the rigors of the field. This often produces a highly tailored
approach to each solution that is difficult to standardize across sectors and
across individuals.

We have taken steps to identify the most important tensions that exist in
appropriate biomedical technologies seen through the design lens. By mapping
RESOURCE INVESTMENT and IMPACT along a X-Y spectrum, we can anticipate
how appropriate our solution is against conventional approaches. We call this the

Impact

Our goal and strategy is to identify


and work within catalyzing
technologies (shown in purple
arrows) that are able to take the
capabilities of one paradigm state into
the more Affordable and High Impact
states. Sometimes, it may be a better
mobile phone language that take the
capabilities of a laptop computer into
the portability of a mobile phone. Or
perhaps, it may advanced digital
microfluidics technology that takes the
diagnostic capabilities only found into
hospital, and transfers them to the
field in a rugged, disposable device.
Often it’s the combination of existing
technologies that marry accuracy and
portability into a distributed system.

A  Focus  on  Applied  Technology  to  
get  Products  to  Patients    
IIH provides researchers at MIT and
other institutions to work on applied
technology projects that have a real
impact in the field. This requires a
comprehensive look at the solution.
The picture illustrates the value-chain
of a microfluidic diagnostic product
compared to the academic
publishing opportunities.

We recognize the opportunities to


disseminate the research are
important and we continue to pursue
those to advance the field. However, PRODUCT!
our group puts a premium on developing
the concepts, prototypes, products, and
dissemination strategy to get solutions to the healthcare arena. We accomplish this by working with
stakeholders in the field on a daily basis. It keeps the timeline of our ideas aligned with the rapid pace of
need in the field.

From  Prototype  to  the  Field  
IIH  SafeTrial  
  Through  the  IIH@  MIT  SafeTrial  program,  we  have  the  opportunity  
to  conduct  clinical  and  engineering  field  trials  in  Tanzania,  
Nicaragua  and  Pakistan  for  member  technologies.  The  IIH  SafeTrial  
program  allows  the  technology  to  be  tested  at  a  very  low  cost  
compared  to  traditional  testing  facilities  under  the  direction  of  
experienced  public  health  professionals.  
  This  is  an  important  distinction  between  IIH  and  other  global  
health  centers.  Our  ability  to  rapidly  prototype  concepts,  take  
them  to  the  field  for  data  acquisition,  and  iterate  provides  a  
pathway  in  which  we  can  show  early  results,  adoption  information,  
and  market  feasibility.  This  gets  our  designs  closer  to  
commercialization  that  our  counterparts  in  other  institutions.

Oncology  |  Challenges  
  Cancer  now  kills  more  people  in  developing  
countries  than  HIV,  TB  and  malaria  
combined.    

  Key  Drivers:  
  Longer  life  expectancy  -­‐-­‐  cancer  risks  rises  
as  one  ages  
  Adoption  of  modern  lifestyles  (smoking,  
drinking,  sedentary  lifestyles  couples  with

  Lack  of  early  detection  for  cancers  related  
to  infection,  such  as  human  papillomavirus  
(HPV),  which  is  linked  to  cervical  and  
colourectal  tumours  

45
Oncology  |  Opportunities  
  There is a clear opportunity for applications for early diagnosis, treatment, and palliative care of cancer in the
developing world. In addition to research opportunities, the field is largely untapped as a business opportunity
since most cancer patients constitute the driving force, the working professional class, of developing world
economies. The lack of adequate treatments fosters regional medical tourism afforded only to the wealthy.

Diabetes  |  Challenges  
  WHO predicts that developing countries will bear the brunt of this epidemic in the
21st century, with 80% of all new cases of diabetes expected to appear in the
developing countries by 2025.  
  Diabetes is increasing faster in the world's developing economies than in developed
countries. Seven out of ten countries with the highest number of people living with
diabetes are in the developing world. With an estimated 35 million people with
diabetes, India has the world's largest diabetes population.

  Diabetes is a silent epidemic that claims as many lives each year as HIV/AIDS. In
2007, diabetes will cause 3.5 million deaths globally.  
  If present trends persist, by 2025 the majority of people with diabetes in the
developing countries will be in the 45-64 age group.

47
Diabetes  |  Opportunities  
  Diabetes is a multi-sided healthcare burden that offers many opportunities for impact. Although prevention is ideal, treatment
is needed for those who have already developed this chronic condition. We see opportunities in affordable management and
monitoring, insulin delivery systems, and secondary disease management (diabetic wound care, prosthesis, eye care).

48
Imaging  |  Challenges  
  According to the World Health Organization, two thirds
of the world's population has little or no access to
basic diagnostic X-ray services. Additionally, the
World Health Organization estimates that there is a
need for one diagnostic imaging system for every
50,000 people. Medical imaging services are needed
for the diagnosis and management of medical
conditions such as trauma, chest disease (including
tuberculosis), and abdominal ailments.
  Despite decades of efforts aimed at addressing the
problem of limited access to diagnostic imaging, little
progress has been made. A key reason for this has
been the lack of coordination in efforts and funding for
sustainable deployment of the affordable technology
that exists. Infrastructure needs to be created to
include support for these critical components, while
utilizing more modern and advanced imaging
technology.
