Jan 2018 - Jun 2018
Experienced working in a medical start-up company in Singapore. Led a main project which is to develop a working medical prototype device for its intended usage in chronic kidney disease patients. Also, contributed in several other projects in the company. Mentored by CEO James Lim and COO Yanling Toh directly. This project is completely new and was very fortunate to spearhead this project with another fellow intern. Managed to generate a detailed project plan and timely report if need be, surveyed current markets, attempted to do a comprehensive patent search and executing the actual project itself. In the course of the medical device prototyping, managed to learn and get exposed to the medical device regulatory framework and its application- this includes several standards such as ISO13485, CISPR 11, FDA (510k) and CE marking. Also, worked with several consultants and contractors to develop the device. Given the responsibility to handle the logistics and data of several clinical studies done overseas (some locally too). Was grateful to be able to work and interacted closely with chronic kidney patients in local kidney dialysis centers as well as the nurses there. Show less
