Healthy living and a sustainable future of health and care delivery is undoubtedly embedded in technology and linked to interdisciplinary innovations.
The TECH4HEALTH consortium is determined to contribute to this (r)evolution. Two departments of the faculty of Engineering Sciences - Electronics and Informatics (ETRO) and Industrial Engineering (INDI)- join forces to build a healthier society in a sustainable way. Together with industry partners, societal organisations, government, academic hospitals and other health actors, we translate findings into applied research and co-create innovative products.
We offer our expertise in blending hardware, firmware, software and physical models ranging from rehabilitation engineering, improved preoperative planning, intra-operative visualization of functional regions, neurosurgical navigation, 4D perfusion and angiography, biomarkers for cognitive impairment assessment, surgical skill assessment, intra-abdominal pressure monitoring, indirect calorimetry, multimodal wearables, markerless motion capturing, pathology computational microscopy, holographic head-mounted displays, secure medical data compression, explainable deep-learning for computer-aided diagnosis, multi-modal prediction models for diagnosis and prognosis, automated clinical coding, digital twins, etc.
We build on 40+ years of multidisciplinary engineering experience, grounded in fundamental & strategic basic research and work closely together with external stakeholders, both at local and international level towards a health(ier) society for all of us.
