The Industry - Academia - Government Promotion (IAGP) Team

The IAGP Team promotes the development and production of innovative industrial products related to nursing for the benefit of older adults and people with special needs. It accomplishes this by coordinating requests for cooperation from local industries, manufacturers and hospitals with members of our faculty. In one such example, our faculty conducted research commissioned from a local company to demonstrate that the slightly acidic electrolyzed water it developed can be safely used for skin disinfection in the medical field. We also assist in obtaining innovation-based patents. In one case, our team facilitated the collaboration of our faculty members with a local furniture company and art college to register the design of a chair specially created to be comfortable for older adults. ​
