2023 Projects


Technology Transfer Assistance Program

The Cleveland Veterans Engineering Health Innovations Center (VehiCLE) is a group of engineers dedicated to translating VA technologies to the private sector via licensing, or for distribution within the national VA system, through fabricating high-level, functional prototypes, performing design and cost analyses, and constructing technical drawings, bill of materials (BOMs) and design history files (DHFs).  We are based out of the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center and partner with Sear's Think[box] at Case Western University, to access their state of the art makers space and fabrication machine shop.  Our goal is to complete 4-6 projects per year to assist the VA Technology Transfer Program (TTP) and VA innovators to further translation of their technologies through product development with considerations for increased manufacturability, including ease of fabrication, decreased weight, simplification of assembly, and reduced cost.
