Embracing the open innovation trend, Cleveland Clinic has issued to the public a $30,000 challenge to design a surgically implantable microsensor to monitor the healing of soft tissue.
The microsensor challenge is the first of what’s slated to be many featured on the Clinic’s new “innovation pavilion,” which is hosted on the website of InnoCentive, a Massachusetts company that specializes in open innovation and crowd sourcing. The pavilion was set up to spur innovative medical research.
