Nurses Use Makerspace To Invent Custom Health Care Solutions (hackaday.com)

Posted by samzenpus on from the building-better-health dept.

New submitter wd5gnr writes: University of Texas Medical Branch and an MIT initiative have joined forces to create the first maker space in a hospital. Often nurses see things that would make their jobs easier or a patient's care better and now they can create custom solutions to those problems. They aim to spread this to other hospitals and form a community of medical makers.
