The HealthTech Research Centre in Sustainable Innovation is a unique facility that helps medical technology companies bring their ideas to life. Funded by the NIHR and partnering the Royal Devon University Healthcare Foundation Trust and the University of Exeter, we specialise in helping businesses develop, test, and improve health-related technologies that can benefit patients and healthcare systems.

Our purpose is to work with businesses to support the development of medical devices, diagnostics and digital technologies, accelerating the regulatory approvals process and smoothing the adoption pathway into the NHS and other healthcare institutions.

What sets us apart? Our ability to seamlessly connect innovative medical technology businesses with real-world healthcare environments and clinical expertise to accelerate the development, validation and market adoption of healthcare technologies.
