A room inside MEDRA · SMITT

The bay

25 m × 5 m · 125 m² at Smouha. Redistributed from the mother brief, which drew the same journey across 400–600 m².

Mother project

One case, two names

The 2026 strategic deck calls the mother effort IP-ITTO: intellectual property, innovation, and technology transfer for the Faculty of Medicine. The founding order already names the operating center. MEDRA is the name on the door. SMITT is the name in the decree. They are one institute.

AEDTH is the fabrication house. This bay is where that house stands. The deck is not a second institute, and it is not a licence to treat patients or to sell implants.

What the deck is right about

The gap

Strong clinical work, almost no disclosure path, and a break between the bedside, a prototype, and anything that can be made again.

Why Smouha

A dense hospital, medicine beside engineering and pharmacy, and a port city with workshops. The deck’s reasons match the order that put the center here.

What stays strategic

Import dependence and supply shocks are the deck’s case for making training goods locally. They are not a claim that this bay already replaces a device line.

Seven stages, said honestly

The deck runs every idea from ideation to clinical implementation. Only the first steps have a home. Each later stage stays closed until a named owner and a counsel exist.

  1. 1IdeationObservatoryShadow the ward. Rank the pain before a form arrives.
  2. 2ValidationTranslationIs the need real, and is rehearsal the right answer?
  3. 3PrototypingAEDTH · this bayPrint, cast, leak-test. Training fixtures, not implants.
  4. 4IP filingTransferDisclosure and prior art first. Counsel files. This site does not.
  5. 5RegulatoryNot startedNo EDA file. A model used in theatre as a sterile guide would change class.
  6. 6MarketNot offeredNo licence and no spin-off until a named right exists.
  7. 7Clinical useNot treatmentA model can be held before theatre. The center does not treat.

Broad intake, narrow incubation

The deck’s two-tier rule: hear every class of idea, incubate a few. In this bay the few are simulation, non-diagnostic planning, and frugal training goods.

  • Devices and hardwareHeard, if it is a training good or a jig
  • Diagnostics and imagingHeard, as a planning aid
  • Digital healthHeard, non-diagnostic
  • Process and protocolsHeard, as know-how
  • Data and registriesHeard, de-identified
  • Therapeutics and biologicsNot this bay
  • Implantable biomaterialsNot this bay

Simulation

Stroke, cardiovascular and endoscopy fixtures. This is the AEDTH playbook, and it is what the wet room is sized for.

Imaging assistance

Triage and segmentation as planning tools. Non-diagnostic until a separate registration says otherwise.

Frugal training goods

Jigs and organisers the hospital already imports. Prototypes in year 1. Not registered devices.

Method and records

Competency sheets and disclosure files. Not a regional guideline authority.

Who sits above the director

The deck proposes a seven-member board. Four of those chairs are already the oversight of MEDRA · SMITT. Two external seats are not filled. Nothing here appoints them.

  • Dean of MedicineDeputy chair in the deckAlready the dean above the director.

  • Drug authority or patent officeExternal, proposedNot appointed.
  • IndustryExternal, proposedNot appointed. No supplier is selected.
  • Executive directorSecretary in the deckThe director of MEDRA · SMITT, under the founding order.

Before the door is treated as open, three policies have to be signed: how an idea comes in, who owns it, and who must keep it quiet. The deck says adoption stays slow without them. The year-1 disclosure clinic is that work, not a substitute for counsel.

Redistributed plan

25 m by 5 m

The deck’s prototyping heart alone was 80–100 m², inside a 400–600 m² center. The cell that can actually be built here — airlock, print, wet cast, stores — is 62 m². The other 63 m² are the dry rooms that feed it.

The deck’s innovator hot-desks, pantry, toilets, and twelve-seat board are not in this rectangle. Hot-desk inventors book the table in the studio. The board meets in the hospital. Confirm a second way out and the extract route with the safety office before fit-out. This drawing is not a construction issue.

Illustrated to scale. Gaps in the north wall are corridor doors. The airlock, print room and wet room connect internally. Select a room.

  • Outline blocks are desks, benches, printers, and cabinets. They are not a furniture order.
  • Resin extract and silicone extract go outside. They do not join the operating-room air.
  • Hydrogel stays out of the wet room on a silicone day. Acrylamide is not planned here.
  • Phase-1 machines: two filament printers, one resin printer, a bought 220 V pump. Not a piston built in-house.
