Eindhoven MedTech Innovation Center (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.

5 Partners, 5 Years, 5 July 2023

Time to celebrate e/MTICresearch, 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 toCarmen 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."

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.
