Foundation Awards
The Foundation Awards Committee performs rigorous reviews of candidates who have demonstrated outstanding service or accomplishment with a significant impact on a specific medical device or on medical instrumentation in general, a service that results in the development of an important new medical device, a distinctive contribution toward the improvement of the use or safety of a medical device, or critical contributions to the enhancement of patient care through medical instrumentation. Others have been honored for their humanitarian efforts by applying health technology to improving global human conditions.
