APEX Strategy

The APEX strategy for evidence-based solutions relies on research and interdisciplinary collaboration:

• We identify persistent challenges in trauma care that require specialized solutions to improve patient care in the near term.
• We conduct research to clearly define a challenge before developing a specialized solution.
• We develop specialized solutions in close interdisciplinary collaboration between surgeons and engineers to generate practical, clinically relevant products.
• We evaluate our specialized solutions to demonstrate their efficacy with published evidence.
