Biomedical Lab is an initiative concerned with the design and development of medical devices for people’s health. Two main projects are being developed: the PD-Watch, which is a “watch” for patients with Parkinson's disease, and MyVenus, a telemedicine system for home mechanical ventilation. We are based in Italy, Basilicata, in the province of Potenza.
