New medical device designed by Teesside University lecturer

The new PatSim200 patient simulator has been developed by biomedical testing technology company Rigel Medical with the help of Teesside University lecturer, Mark Beckwith.

Beckwith, a senior lecturer in the University’s School of Design, Culture & the Arts, has over 25 years’ experience in product development and has previously worked with Rigel Medical. This latest project involved six months’ design, development, and prototyping work.
