The Atlanta Center for Microsystems Engineered Point-of-Care Technologies (ACME POCT) is dedicated to developing, translating, and integrating into clinical practice, microchip-based technologies for medical applications. We have a variety of activities and events we undertake to accomplish this mission:
As part of the ACME POCT Oliver Brand Memorial Lecture Series, GLUE events serve as our primary venue to educate on the entrepreneurial pathway and product lifecycle.
On average we host 4 events a year with a variety of seasonsed experts across curated disciplines.
Every spring ACME POCT releases a solicitation seeking promising new POCT ventures. We seek to match project teams currently developing microsystems-based POC technologies with one or more ACME POCT services to facilitate translation to the highest clinical impact.
As member of the national Point-of-Care Technologies Research Network (POCTRN), ACME supports innovative ventures by using the HealthTech Innovation Cycle framework consisting of 10 innovation maturity levels across 4 domains: CLINICAL, MARKET/BUSINESS, REGULATORY, and TECHNOLOGY. We offer services in each of these domains.
