Fuelling Innovation Through Research

On 17th February, Philip Fahlborg and Jonas Staaf, PIEp Master Thesis project students, presented their project to Sister Kenny's clinicians and guests from the University of Minnesota and City of Minneapolis. Their research used an innovation model based on "Clinical Innovation Team" from Katarina Lund’s "Innovation Handbook" (which was awarded the 2009 PIEp Best Master Thesis Award at KTH,). Philip and Jonas have applied the process in the development of "Flamingo", a new prototype of a unique balance training machine that patients can use at home for safe balance training. Philip and Jonas showed off their working prototype, and did a fantastic job which was very well received.
