Pathfinder: Building a Circular Economy for Medical Devices - ME 310 Design Document - Johnson and Johnson (Swiss)
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Johnson and Johnson believes in introducing a more circular economy for single used medical devices discarded in the Operating Room. The student team which includes students from Stanford University, USA and ZHAW University, Switzerland were asked to come up with a solution to improve the circularity of single use devices and look for ways to reduce waste and track the devices into the end of their life after a surgery. After multiple iterations and prototypes, the team came up with a solution to sort medical devices using image recognition, based on recycling value or potential of these devices. These identified devices are logged into a database, which can be used to track these devices end to end and allows for greater circularity within single use medical devices.
