posted on 2020-06-29, 15:27 authored by Wendy Phillips, Dharm Kapletia, Kenny Dalgarno, Paul Hunt, Richard Bibb, Harris Makatsoris, Qasim Rafiq, Sam Roscoe, Basil Omar, Nicholas Willoughby, Abby PatersonAbby Paterson, Jonathan BengerThis paper analyses the case for transforming deployed medical care through innovations in advanced manufacturing. Early-stage findings present expert views based on a cross-disciplinary roadmapping workshop, designed to steer requirements and identify desirable applications across a range of medical manufacturing engineering disciplines. This paper proposes how the adoption of Redistributed Manufacturing (RDM) has the potential to transform operational patient care pathways and supply chains in the context of military and emergency medicine. This encompasses the use of technologies such as additive manufacturing, bioprinting and other distributed approaches. This work is part of a national UK research programme and sets out the foundations for a position paper to guide future research and investment in both academia and practice.
Funding
This research is a core component of a multi-disciplinary programme funded by the UK Research Council (Ref. EP/T014970/1). The workshop discussed in this paper and the basis for this funding was funded by an earlier grant (Ref. EP/P010660/1) and presents some of the outputs of this work.
