- Want to know more about cancer screening?
-
CITEC developed its comprehensive guide on the Standards of Care for cancer screening as a resource for researchers and students in biomedical engineering, cancer prevention, and early detection. It outlines the Standards of Care for various cancers while offering insights into screening and diagnostic procedures, point-of-care pathologies, WHO recommendations, considerations for settings with limited medical resources, emerging technologies, and clinical trials.
- Want to start your own needs finding?
-
Review an example interview script and clinical observation template intended for students or innovators gathering information about cancer from clinicians or healthcare workers across various geographic areas. These templates are designed to be adjusted to fit your needs. The clinical observation template is a spreadsheet that allows one to place observations from one's notebook after conducting clinical observations. Those interested in needs finding can also review the Stanford Biodesign Student Guide.
