C3Te focuses on multi-disciplinary research in the care and cure domain

The Center for Care & Cure Technology Eindhoven (C3Te) focuses on multi-disciplinary research in the care and cure domain. By connecting the technological strengths of Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics with clinical partners and industry, collective knowledge is expanded leading to sustainable improvement of healthcare. In the last years, C3Te has established a strategic network, in which collaborative innovations for health care in the areas of multimodal sensing, advanced imaging, ICT embedded systems and ubiquitous computing played a crucial role for improving diagnosis and treatment of patients. Additionally, the development of ambulant and unobtrusive monitoring systems contributed to adapting treatment approaches for enhancing patient well-being.

Image understanding and algorithm validation in oncology and neurology

We are proud to share that Prof. Zinger, Chair in Context-Informed Dynamic Image Analysis for Clinical Decision Support, will present a lecture. In her talk, she will explore how combining image context, temporal dynamics, and AI can advance patient-specific diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment decision support in healthcare. ** Registration is required for the symposium (deadline: 12 March 2026).

Date: Thursday, March 19, 2026 | 13:00 - 16:00 (followed by a reception)
Location: Blauwe Zaal, Auditorium, ºÚÁϸ£ÀûÍø 

Prior to the lecture (16:00), you can join a symposium Mini- Symposium (13:00–15:00). Topics include:|
- AI in image-guided therapy
- MRI simulation and synthesis for research and education
- Trustworthy AI for oncology
- MRI research on neurodynamic cognitive brain networks

MedTech Day 2025 Recap

What happens when you bring together leading experts in neurology to address clinical and technical challenges and to explore innovative solutions together?

MedTech Day 2025 - NeuroConnect opened with compelling insights that united patient experience with technological innovation. The sessions demonstrated how precision, ongoing dialogue and patient-centred thinking are reshaping the future of neurological care.

MedTech Day 2025 is an initiative of Center for Care & Cure Technology Eindhoven (C3Te), Kempenhaeghe Epilepsy and Sleep Center and Eindhoven MedTech Innovation Center (e/MTIC).

Brainpower in comic book form

What's not to like, an inspiring lecture given by an enthusiastic professor. An upbeat message and decades of research distilled into a single slide. But PhD candidate Elles Raaijmakers is keen to show the other side of the story: failed experiments, countless setbacks and years of hard work. While working as a member of the Education Team, she carried out doctoral research on the influence of electrical fields on brain cells. Instead of handing out a hefty thesis – although she has written one – she drew an accessible guide to her research experiences in the form of a comic book. On Thursday, June 8, she defended her research at the Department of Electrical Engineering. Read more

Education

C3Te supports a special master program Care and Cure.

The healthcare market is an increasingly important consumer of technological and, especially, electrical engineering applications. These range from the complex and specialist equipment in hospitals, such as MRI scanners, to the small gadgets and tools that enable people to continue living in their own home environments for longer, such as a wireless alarm system. Between these two extremes lie countless applications such as pacemakers, monitors of all sorts of biological signals, diagnostic equipment and resources used in the curative process. The development of these applications is the subject of the Care and Cure program. This is a highly dynamic field which integrates knowledge in the fields of electrical engineering, mathematics, computer science, physics, and biology. Read more
