Several Fulton Schools faculty members will be involved in the research to be done by the new WearTEch Applied Research Center, a collaboration between ASU and local government, along with healthcare and economic organizations. The effort to establish Arizona as a hub of MedTech innovation will focus on wearable technologies, wearable robotics, bioelectronics medicine and neurotechnology development. The center will enable leading university researchers to partner with industry to quicken the pace of moving fundamental research from the lab to the marketplace and “make ASU’s backyard the competitive home of wearable medical technology,” says Kyle Squires, dean of the Fulton Schools.
