BIOMEDICAL & HUMAN SYSTEMS

Creare works across a broad spectrum of biomedical applications, building on core capabilities in precision fabrication, software development, signal and image processing, sensor design, control systems, and thermal/fluid technology. Our diverse blend of engineering skills is well matched to the demanding multidisciplinary requirements of our biomedical clients, whether these involve computer simulation, novel fabrication techniques and materials, fundamental understanding of physical processes, or interfacing with the clinical environment.

Creare frequently collaborates with leading clinicians at nearby Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, a 400-bed teaching and research hospital, and at institutions such as Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins University, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and Duke University. Prototype devices are typically built and tested in our own laboratories and are validated in a clinical environment when appropriate.

Examples of past or ongoing development efforts include:

• Innovative signal processing algorithms and software for cardiac electrophysiology
• Image processing methods for early detection of disease and monitoring of therapy
• Probes for surgical treatment of cancer
• Aerosol technologies for mass vaccinations
• Robotic control software for telesurgery
• Portable cryogenic systems for producing medical grade oxygen
