IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine's unique aim is to publish original work in the intersection of engineering and clinical translation. The journal's focus is interdisciplinary collaborations between researchers, healthcare providers, and industry and aims to publish results and best practices from these translational efforts.
MATTHEW THOMPSON leads the Primary Care Innovation Lab at the University of Washington which aims to identify and implement new technology solutions in primary care settings. He is currently a Professor and the Interim Chair with the Department of Family Medicine, University of Washington, with adjunct appointments in Global Health, Mechanical Engineering and Pediatrics. He has particular research interest in advancing methods related to diagnostics and monitoring, and developing, testing and implementing point of care tests in both high, and low income settings globally.
