Scholarly publications frequently describe a discovery, invention, or novel method. In some instances, the positive impact of scholarly work on society can be greatly increased by translating the discovery, invention, or method into a product that is deployed on a scale that is much larger than is typical for a scholarly publication. This is especially important in biomedical research and engineering because of the potential for research to improve human health. In this lecture, I will describe three approaches that are effective for translating research into products that improve human health: a needs-driven approach, a technology-driven approach, and an open-source approach. I will use examples from my work to illustrate these approaches and make observations that apply more generally. My goal is to share insights that will help those who are interested in technology translation be successful in their endeavors.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EScott Delp, Ph.D., is the James H.
