The UBORA e-Infrastructure

UBORA (“excellence” in Swahili) is a new approach for co-design of innovative solutions to face

the current and future healthcare challenges of Europe and Africa. Through the UBORA e-

Infrastructure, the biomedical community can generate, exchange, improve and implement

creative ideas in Biomedical Engineering underpinned by a solid safety assessment framework.

Users can share open data and blueprints of biomedical devices, accompanied by the required

procedures for respecting quality assurance, and evaluating performance and safety.

In a nutshell, UBORA couples the open design philosophy with Europe’s leadership in quality

control and safety assurance, guaranteeing better health and new opportunities for growth and

innovation throughout the planet.

UBORA:OpenBiomedicalengineeringe-Platform

UBORA Design Competition and SchoolCornerstones of UBORA’s implementation are Design Competitions and Design Schools.

The 2017 UBORA Design Competition has been focused on creating effective and affordable

solutions which will contribute to improved child health outcomes. Students with the best

ranked projects are invited to attend the Design School at Kenyatta University (Nairobi, Kenya)

from 11th to 15th December 2017.

The 2018 UBORA Design Competition will be focused on finding affodable solution to problems

related to our ageing society. The related Design School will be in Pisa (Italy), from 3rd to 7th

September 2018.

Design School FormatStudents will go thought the design process of medical devices compliant to relevant standards

, by attending specific classes, workshops and lectures from outstanding speakers. Grouped in

teams under the guide of expert mentors, they will prototype a medical device assigned as a

challenge at the beginning of the school.
