The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council funded Hub is a multi-disciplinary resource enabling training, co-creation, translation, and acceleration of digital health technologies.
The Hub brings together expertise and representatives from across King’s College, its partner NHS Trusts, patients, the public, and industry, to provide training support, share knowledge, and create opportunities to promote UK digital health technologies.
Hub members will be supported by infrastructure that will help take digital health technology from an idea to reality, leading to improved patient care and management, at an accelerated pace. Members can also create their own bespoke training experience in digital health with open access asynchronous resources.
Across the core pillars of training, co-creation, translation and acceleration, the Hub’s offerings can help small, medium size enterprises, University spin-outs, clinicians, healthcare workers, patients and researchers to take their technology through the development process.
Resources will be accessible both online and in-person at the London Institute for Healthcare Engineering (LIHE), on the St Thomas’ Hospital campus. LIHE has been designed to facilitate the translation of medical devices to market collocating academics, clinicians, startups, experts, and industry, to naturally foster collaboration. Hub members will benefit from extensive entrepreneurial support, access to the London AI Centre’s resources and connections with more than twenty industry partners.
