Welcome to MEDRG
The Medical Engineering Design Research Group (MEDRG) at Nottingham Trent University is an interdisciplinary group, which brings together a wide range of academics, clinicians, surgeons, healthcare companies and other medical professionals whose interests focus on medical engineering design across a wide range of research specialisms.
These include wearable technologies, additive and subtractive manufacturing for medical applications, biomimetics, surgical robotics, augmented/virtual/immersive technologies and environments, and investigative research related to the utilisation of ‘smart materials’ for medical and surgical applications.
Our focus
The research group seeks to address the changing needs of healthcare research, including:
- Autonomous robotics applications.
- Medical device development and additive manufacturing processes.
- Health management and rehabilitation - including mobile applications.
- Biomaterials - including dental, cardiovascular, ophthalmics and orthopaedics.
- Emergency medical care, systems and procedures.
The MEDRG research group also has separate research interests linked to improvements in process control using the latest technologies, this research is currently in collaboration with a global food and drinks company.
The MEDRG research group lead innovative research linked to the combined use of Computer Aided Design (CAD), printing systems and layer manufacturing techniques to produce medical devices which have a uniform composition.
We are looking to generate research income through the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), NIHR i4i fund, EPSRC, MRC, Innovate U.K. and Welcome Trust.
Core services we offer include:
- Innovative device development for the medical / surgical industry.
- Medical / surgical robotics / corobotics.
- Production Process robotic systems.
- Rapid prototyping with SLA and FDM 3D printing standard, engineering, ceramic, medical and dental material capabilities.
- Multi-material 3D / 4D printing.
- Translation of medical technology for product manufacture.
- Fundamental and applied research on novel medical technologies.
- Use of Extended Reality Technologies for medical applications.
- Flexible electronics printing.
- Brain-computer interfaces (BCI).
- Hardware Interface Design and Development.
- User Interface and User Experience Design and Development, based on co-design principles.
- Materialise Mimics 3D image processing software for modelling human anatomy.
