This week saw the official launch of a new state-of-the-art defibrillator entirely developed here in Brazil using national technology and resources. The LifeSchockPRO biphasic defibrillator with multiparameter monitor emerged as part of a Brazilian Triple Helix model for creating public-private-academic partnerships. The three year project, totalling an investment of R$3.5 million, was subsidized by FINEP, a government backed fund devoted to science and technology, and investment by the private companies Toth Tecnologia and Lifemed.

I am very pleased to have coordinated this project. It has been a great example of what can be achieved by locating technology parks within universities - uniting the research ideas of academia with the market-driven realities of business benefits all and stimulates innovation - as demonstrated by the new LifeShockPRO defibrillator.

This new easy-to-use and robust equipment with touchscreen technology and a fast battery recharge time has now been approved for sale by ANVISA, the Brazilian Health Surveilance Agency, and is already in hospital use.

Congratulations to all at Toth Tecnologia and Lifemed, and to TECNOPUC and the crew of the MicroG - we look forward to working together again in the future.
