MD PnP Lab co-sponsored "How to Hack Healthcare" with H@cking Medicine, the Harvard iLab, and the INCOSE Biomedical & Healthcare Working Group. 

MD PnP participates in the SmartAmerica CPS Testbed Challenge, sponsored by the White House Presidential Innovation Fellows Sokwoo Rhee and Geoff Mulligan

As part of the ONC area of the HIMSS14 Interoperability Showcase, the MD PnP team holds a demonstration with technology partners DocBox and Intel, called “Real-Time Blue Button for Patients and Families.”

FDA Pre-Submission supplement Q140327 for an Integrated Medical Device System is made publicly available

MD PnP participates in a collaborative demonstration of the Closed Loop HealthCare scenario and announces SmartAmerica MD PnP Healthcare App Challenge (SAMHAC).

A NIST-launched endeavor facilitating partnerships to drive the creation of “smart cities” using Cyber-physical systems (CPS) – sometimes referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT) – to connect smart devices and systems in fundamentally new ways.

Over a 20 day period, the MD PnP Program, with support by NIH/NIBIB, convened a group from government, academia and industry to prototype innovative approaches to improve patient care and reduce the risk of healthcare workers’ exposure to Ebola.

The MD PnP Program hosted the Connected Care Testbed of the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC)

After 11 years in the original location at 65 Landsdowne St. Cambridge, MA, the original MD PnP lab has been relocated to a larger custom-built space on the 5th floor of the same Partners Healthcare building.
