Japan biodesign program is the Japanese version of Stanford biodesign, which is an education program to develop leader of medical device innovation. The characteristics of the program is an approach that they start from clinical observation, extract a well-characterized need, and create concepts. On the other hand, because we have only two years' experiences, we need to discuss how to apply the method based on American medical system to Japan and how to use it in the Japanese ecosystem. I am engaged in the second budge (2016-17) of Japan biodesign fellowship. I think that not only we can learn systematized knowledge related to medical device development, but also we can create needs and concepts which are useful for business implementation in a short term. In this presentation, I will introduce the contents and progress of our fellowship activities and discuss the present state and future prospect of the program.
