The NIHR HealthTech Research Centre in Devices, digital and robotics aims to support the safe, effective and efficient translation of new healthcare technologies by generating evidence that will support their regulatory approval and adoption. We work closely with the Medical Devices Testing and Evaluation Centre (MD-TEC), a state-of-the-art medical device and technology usability testing facility.

We have recently launched our June 2026 call for collaborative project proposals, seeking new projects from technology developers with innovations that aim to improve the effectiveness and quality of health and care services.

Join us online on Wednesday 17 June at 12pm to learn more about our services and how to submit a project proposal and ask questions directly to our team during the Q&A.

The webinar is open to clinicians, researchers, SMEs and other technology developers in the medical devices, digital health technologies and robotics sectors.

Register to attend on MS Teams.
