Join us at Scale Space White City on Thursday 23 June 2022 from 14.00 – 18.00.
Celebrating the successful end of our fifth MedTech SuperConnector cohort. Our participants will pitch their innovative technologies to you, discussing their work and their next steps forward. You will be able to reflect on the importance of supporting early-stage MedTech with a keynote address. Afterwards, we encourage you to network with other attendees and our ventures.
Drawing on the expertise of eight leading institutions the MedTech SuperConnector helps empower early-career researchers to translate academic insights from the arts and sciences into early-stage medical technologies. MTSC’s remit is to support technological innovation, advance entrepreneurship education and find new and effective ways to accelerate MedTech R&D. Ventures from our most recent cohort range from developing high fidelity organ mimics for medical device testing and surgical training to a predictive smart sensor and AI tool for patient monitoring in acute hospital and community care.
