Abstract:
While doctor-engineer collaborations are imperative for the advancement of medical technology to improve patient care, these partnerships are often fraught with poorly understood barriers, including differences in knowledge base, conflicts over authorship and difficulty in applying deterministic solutions to biological data. As there is scarce literature on the dynamics of doctor-engineer collaborations, this essay discusses these hurdles and proposes practical ways to overcome, or at least attenuate them.
