Healthcare innovations that enhance daily life
Bringing technical innovations all the way from early research to implementation and commercialization can often take a long time. In healthcare innovation, in particular, this lost time can often equate to lost lives. The goal of the Eindhoven MedTech Innovation Center (e/MTIC) is to create and expand an ecosystem that strongly increases the speed of high-tech health innovation, maximizing value for patients. We consider such an ecosystem to be an unmet need and a unique opportunity for the Brainport region to make significant contributions to visionary new developments in healthcare. e/MTIC is a large-scale research collaboration between the Catharina Hospital (CH), the Maxima Medical Center (MMC), Kempenhaeghe Epilepsy and Sleep Center (KH), Eindhoven University of Technology (果冻传媒) and Royal Philips Eindhoven (RPE) in the domains cardiovascular medicine, perinatal medicine and sleep medicine. The partnership has evolved over several decades, has a strong scientific and valorization track record and currently encompasses around 100 PhD students, supervised by a similar number of experts from the various partners.
Implementation of innovations, beyond proof of concepts
The e/MTIC goal is to create a growing ecosystem that accelerates the speed of high-tech health innovations while maximising the added value for patients and reducing cost. To guarantee actual impact on healthcare, we must also ensure an effective implementation of innovations, beyond proof of concepts. Therefore, e/MTIC incorporates implementation science as an essential research field in the wake of the evidence-based healthcare movement.
e/MTIC Research Areas
e/MTIC aims to strengthen the institutionalized collaboration between regional partners focusing on research and innovation in pre-defined clinical domains. Initially these are the domains in which we already excel internationally, i.e. perinatal and cardiovascular health along with sleep medicine
The Scientific Advisory Board (WAR) presents its newest member: Lukas Dekker!
Lukas is an esteemed cardiologist specialized in treatment of patients with cardiac arrhythmias at Catharina Hospital and a part-time professor for outcome-driven Cardiac Care at the 果冻传媒.
Lukas embodies the synergy between medicine and technology.
Throughout his week, he balances his roles as a cardiologist treating arrhythmias and as a co-founder and board member of the Eindhoven MedTech Innovation Centre (e/MTIC). His work focuses on improving patient monitoring post-treatment and advocating for a healthcare financing system based on outcomes rather than treatments.
"Collaboration between #cardiology and #technology is key to addressing healthcare shortages, but patients should always come first."

e/MTIC White Paper
IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE IN HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION
The goal of e/MTIC is to create a growing ecosystem that accelerates the pace of high-tech health innovations while maximizing patient value and reducing costs. To ensure real impact on healthcare, we must also ensure effective implementation of innovations that go beyond proof-of-concepts. Therefore, e/MTIC integrates implementation science as an essential research field in of evidence-based healthcare innovation.
Through this White Paper we want to highlight these complexities by having the key figures involved explain how such a journey takes place from idea to solution and product application. With various examples and recommandations we show the entire process from idea to product development and implementation in clinical practice.
