Eindhoven MedTech Innovation Center
Improving value based healthcare by creating and expanding an ecosystem that enables a fast track to high-tech health innovations
Healthcare innovations that enhance daily life
Bringing technical innovations all the way from early research to implementation and commercialization can often take a long time. In healthcare innovation, in particular, this lost time can often equate to lost lives. The goal of the Eindhoven MedTech Innovation Center (e/MTIC) is to create and expand an ecosystem that strongly increases the speed of high-tech health innovation, maximizing value for patients. We consider such an ecosystem to be an unmet need and a unique opportunity for the Brainport region to make significant contributions to visionary new developments in healthcare. e/MTIC is a large-scale research collaboration between the Catharina Hospital (CH), the Maxima Medical Center (MMC), Kempenhaeghe Epilepsy and Sleep Center (KH), Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and Royal Philips Eindhoven (RPE) in the domains cardiovascular medicine, perinatal medicine and sleep medicine. The partnership has evolved over several decades, has a strong scientific and valorization track record and currently encompasses around 100 PhD students, supervised by a similar number of experts from the various partners.

e/MTIC White Paper 2024
IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE IN HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION
The goal of e/MTIC is to create a growing ecosystem that accelerates the pace of high-tech health innovations while maximizing patient value and reducing costs. To ensure real impact on healthcare, we must also ensure effective implementation of innovations that go beyond proof-of-concepts. Therefore, e/MTIC integrates implementation science as an essential research field in of evidence-based healthcare innovation.
Through this White Paper we want to highlight these complexities by having the key figures involved explain how such a journey takes place from idea to solution and product application. With various examples and recommandations we show the entire process from idea to product development and implementation in clinical practice.

HEALTHCARE INNOVATIONS THAT ENHANCE DAILY LIFE
Bringing technical innovations from early research to implementation and commercialization can often be a time-consuming process. In healthcare innovation, this lost time can equate to lost lives.
The Eindhoven MedTech Innovation Center (e/MTIC) aims to create and expand an ecosystem that can significantly increase the speed of high-tech health innovation, maximizing patients' value. We believe that such an ecosystem is an unmet need and a unique opportunity for the Brainport region to contribute to visionary new developments in healthcare. e/MTIC is a large-scale research collaboration between Catharina Hospital, Maxima MC, Kempenhaeghe Epilepsy and Sleep Center, TU/e and Philips Eindhoven in the domains of cardiovascular-, perinatal- and sleep medicine. This partnership, which evolved over several decades, has a proven scientific and valorization track record and currently encompasses over 100 PhD students supervised by a similar number of experts from the various partners.
Our Research Areas
e/MTIC aims to strengthen the institutionalized collaboration between regional partners focusing on research and innovation in pre-defined clinical domains. Initially these are the domains in which we already excel internationally, i.e. perinatal and cardiovascular health along with sleep medicine
CELEBRATION OF 5 YEAR E/MTIC
5 Partners, 5 Years, 5 July 2023
Time to celebrate e/MTIC research, innovations and collaboration towards a Fast Track to Clinical Innovation. During the anniversary celebration on Wednesday, July 5, the five partners looked back on the achieved successes and forward to the future. The strength of e/MTIC lies in the close collaboration between the university, hospitals and industry. All these parties are needed to realize innovations in healthcare. According to Carmen van Vilsteren, Director of e/MTIC, "a lot has changed in the past five years. When we started five years ago, we were seen as a local initiative. Meanwhile, we are recognized as a strategic collaboration that can serve as a model for innovation in helathcare."

Remote monitoring via Smart Patch
Video made by ZorgVanNu
Developped within e/MTIC: a smart patch that measures, among other things, the patient's heart rate and breathing from a distance. Wherever it is. The Catharina hospital in Eindhoven uses the patch for various conditions or treatments. In the video we share their experiences with the Philips healthdot.
Zorg van Nu is an initiative of the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS)

The central thread of my career lies in high-tech innovation in healthcare and that is also my passion. My experience in industry is largely complementary to the knowledge TU/e already has. I believe that it is exactly this combination that is really powerful and will help me to extend and strengthen health research, innovation and education.
