FACILITIES
The partners in the CMDT each have specialist laboratory facilities and expertise to drive medical devices research and technology development in New Zealand. This page provides an overview of some of these resources.
Auckland Bioengineering Institute laboratory and workshop
The Auckland Bioengineering Institute has excellent laboratory and workshop facilities, including areas dedicated to electronic development, mechanical construction as well as wet-lab facilities.Augmented Reflection Technology Group
The Augmented Reflection Technology Group develops computer-assisted therapy systems using Augmented Reflection Technology (ART). The ART system projects a moving, real time image of a person’s limbs via a computer and camera, using an augmented mirror box (AMB).Biomechanics Laboratory, University of Otago
Dr Allan Carman, at the Biomechanics Laboratory, School of Physiotherapy, University of Otago, has expertise in measuring human performance, including; 3D movement, muscle function, and muscle and joint forces in the generation of movement. Biomechanics Laboratory is equipped with a 12 camera 3D motion analysis system (Motion Analysis Corporation), two ground mounted force plates (AMTI), a 12 channel telemetric electromyography system (Noraxon), a portable pressure mat (RSscan) and an isokinetic dynamometer (Biodex).The Centre for Bioengineering and Nanomedicine
The Centre for Bioengineering and Nanomedicine at the University of Otago conducts cutting-edge research. It also gives postgraduate students and industry the opportunity to conduct bioengineering and nanomedicine research with world-class scientists.Read more about the The Centre for Bioengineering and Nanomedicine.
