This chapter concerns a new concept of innovation in healthcare technology. ISIFC is the internal engineering school of University of Besancon (France) and is accredited by the French Ministry of National Education. The « Institut superieur d’ingenieurs de FrancheComte » (ISIFC) graduates 216 biomedical engineering students since 2004 for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, for patient rehabilitation and for improving health. Its originality lies in its innovative course of studies, which trains engineers in the scientific and medical fields to get both competencies. The Institute therefore collaborates with the University Hospital Centre of Besancon (CHU), biomedical companies and National Research Centres (CNRS and INSERM). The teaching team consists mainly in lecturer-researchers and researchers as well as biomedical and health industry professionals. It’s an innovative engineering French school, which tries to understand the expectation of the specific healthcare and medical devices markets. It trains engineers in 3 years (2400 hours per student) with a double culture, medical and technical, who will work for 80% in biomedical industry, 10% in healthcare centre and 5% in research laboratory. They master all the life cycle of a medical device from the idea to the launch of the market. They can lead to improve product functionality, usability, safety and quality. We prepare our students to: • Medical and biological instrumentation in general, with a special interest for Microsystems. The course’s main targets are design enhancement and the development of equipment for clinical, medical and biological investigation (biochips, automated devices for biological analysis, probes, endoscopes, artificial organs and systems for physiological assistance etc...). • The analysis, design and development of biomechanical systems. They thus receive special training on mechanical design, manufacturing engineering, and special training on materials used in surgery (metal, polymer, ceramic, composite...) as well as their different use in biological environments, ie tissues and human organs (biocompatibility). The main applications are orthopaedics (prosthesis and orthesis). Our students play a significant role in emergence of combination products (e.g. biologic and device or drug and device).
