Al Jazeera's Bilal Randeree speaks to Jose Gomez-Marquez, program director for the Innovations in International Health initiative at MIT.
Gomez-Marquez is a medical device designer who creates medical health technologies for people in developing countries. Noting that medical donations from developed to developing nations don't work out of context, he works to create solutions.
One of these is the Aerovax Drug Delivery System, a device for mass delivery of inhalable drugs and vaccines, and "Lego" kits that allow medics on the field to put together mobile labs.
Gomez-Marquez explains here how these toys are being used to develop innovative technologies.
