Medtech Day 2023
MedTech Day 2023 - An integrated approach for future-proof healthcare
On Friday, 22 September 2023, the second MedTech Day will take place at the TU/e on the occasion of the inauguration of Prof. Dr. Arthur Bouwman. This conference is organised by the Center for Care & Cure Technology and the Eindhoven MedTech Innovation Center (e/MTIC).
Our healthcare is under pressure. How to future-proof our healthcare systems? An integral, multidisciplinary approach to healthcare innovation is our best chance to provide structural support for future healthcare challenges. Technological innovations are essential for this road to sustainable healthcare that is accessible to everyone. During this conference, we will share the stories and experiences of our clinicians, professors, young researchers and other MedTech professionals.
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."
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. 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 Catharina Hospital, Maxima Medical Center, Kempenhaeghe Epilepsy and Sleep Center, TU/e and Royal Philips Eindhoven in the domains cardiovascular medicine, perinatal medicine and sleep medicine.
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
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)

News
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.
