Abstract: Effecting a positive patient-outcome is a complex problem. The medical device and pharmaceutical industries make considerations for how to incorporate technology transfers, new formulations and re-formulations, stability parameters, manufacturability, product placement, hospital systems, and home use. System engineering is a discipline that focuses on solving the problem of complexity, whether for Apollo 11 or for a medical product as simple as a epipen. In fact, US and international regulations on these product require many aspects of systems engineering be applied, though not always named. We can ask the right questions and tailor best practices from traditional systems engineering to the medical space. This presentation will discuss the application and tailoring of systems engineering to the "non-traditional" field of medicine.
