Abstract

A heuristic “3-dimensional” project is presented, accomplished by the 24 post-graduate students of our Department’s MSc. Course “Advanced Biomedical Technology”. The project has addressed, first, RT innovative Technology as reflected on Industrial Property (IP) docs, second, cardinal patient-care and medical-managerial aspects and finally, their combination with relevant Medical Protocols, Guidelines & Standards. Parts of the three modules of the 4th-trimester, i.e. “Large Therapeutic and Diagnostic Facilities Safety, Radiation Protection and Quality Assurance” (PMS_BIT_2.4.), “Biomedical Technology (BMT) of Home-Surveillance, Health-Care Management and Online Health Services” (PMS_BIT_2.5.) and “BMT-Quality Assurance, Industrial Property Rights, Technical Standards and Medical Protocols and Guidelines” (PMS_BIT_2.6.), taught by the first author, have been combined and each student has prepared and orally presented a “3-D” paper. Around 1000 pages of relevant content (over 1 GB) with numerous Figures and Tables are included in the produced Compendium. The quality of the students’ papers and presentations corroborate the need of introducing novel, contemporary and creative examination methods, attracting their interest and promoting their self-confidence.
