Innovation in the healthcare sector is difficult due to challenges in accessing clinical expertise, recruiting patients, establishing clinical trials and the highly regulated context. This programme, through a human-centred design approach provides a unique opportunity to:
-
Identify clinical challenges that Design Engineering Researchers and Students may contribute to resolve
-
Improve patients’ and clinical staff’ experience
-
Develop awareness of human-centred innovation in the NHS
-
Provide excellent clinical expertise in multidisciplinary research and students’ projects
-
Create proofs of principle in the form of fully working prototypes to assess the feasibility of proposed innovation
-
Generate market research and research insights leading to larger projects
If you work in healthcare and would like to submit a clinical challenge or are a student looking to get involved in a project, please visit the relevant pages for more information on how to do so or get in touch with us for a conversation.
