How can creativity and technology learn from living systems to improve health?

Missing Pair

Business + Social

Domain Description

Biodesign and life-centered health innovation. Examples include biomimetic prosthetics, medical materials, regenerative design, therapeutic environments, biologically inspired engineering and environmental medicine. The combination is strong and coherent, but it spans biodesign, environmental medicine and therapeutic design rather than mapping neatly onto one major domain.

Characteristic Blind Spots

Without Business and Social, discoveries may remain inaccessible, poorly distributed or unable to move beyond laboratories and prototypes.
