Medical Device Plug-and-Play Interoperability Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital / Partners HealthCare/ CIMIT

The Medical Device Plug-and-Play (MD PnP) Lab located at 65 Landsdowne Street in Cambridge was designed as a collaborative lab space. It provides an environment of computing and medical device resources to support projects, testing, and prototyping work by the MD PnP team and collaborators. This **1800 sq. ft. facility has been outfitted with a high-speed virtual medical network by Partners HealthCare Information Systems.

[Update June 2017 - the MD PnP Lab is undergoing an expansion to 3200 Sq Ft.]
