http://arbutusmedical.ca/ http://arbutusmedical.ca/ is another example. Its only been going 3-4 years with ~10 students per year, so some of the ideas are still developing. And more so, I think we'll see alumni of the program do great things in the coming years. I'd argue that hardware is more challenging for younger founders, and medical device more so - the regulatory, funding, and access to users is hard. What makes this program so good is it makes user access easy, and coaches students through 'translating' between engineering language and surgeon. I was at UBC in the Biomedical Program the year before EiS started. Its a very strong program in medical device design, especially by including not just the engineering science, but life sciences, regulatory environment, and commercialization considerations.
