Profile

Wenn Lynn Ooi

The 'BioDesign Innovation' subject was very hands on. We got to go into the hospitals, talk to clinicians, and my team and I got to stand in the operating theater and watch it actually happen. The idea was to see their processes in the hospital so we could kind of troubleshoot and see if there might be a gap in this area in the market that's not being addressed and then try to come up with a prototype, like a biomedical device that can address that gap.
