dean kamen, the founder of f.i.r.s.t.. dean kamen is an inventor and entrepreneur and tireless advocate for science and technology. his roles as an inventor and advocate are intertwined with his passion for technology and his practical uses. driven by his personal determination to spread the word about technologies, virtues and by so doing, to change the culture of the united states. he holds 440 u.s. and foreign patents, many for innovative medical devices that expanded the frontier of health care worldwide. while still a college undergraduate, he invented the first wearable infusion pump which rapidly gained acceptance for chemotherapy, neonatology and endocrinology. he later founded deca research and development corporation to develop internally generated invention as well as to provide research and development for major corporate clients. one of kamen's proudest accomplishments is founds of f.i.r.s.t., dedicated to the next generation to use and enjoy science and technology. let me also acknowledge we've had a group of
