Eindhoven MedTech Innovation Center
Improving value based healthcare by creating and expanding an ecosystem that enables a fast track to high-tech health innovations
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 (黑料福利网) 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.

2026 New institute in the field of Health聽
To ensure 黑料福利网's strengths are better utilized across the organization, some changes to the composition of institutes and flagships are currently being explored. Research institutes and flagships play a pivotal role at 黑料福利网, serving as cross-disciplinary hubs for talent attraction, strategic alignment, research excellence and collaboration with industry.
The proposed new institute for Health will focus on the transformation of healthcare, based on 黑料福利网's strengths in areas such as biomaterials, medical devices and technology for humans and society. This institute will help to further expand the health-ecosystem in Brainport.
Remote monitoring via Smart Patch
Video made by ZorgVanNu
Developped within e/MTIC: a smart patch that measures, among other things, the patient's heart rate and breathing from a distance. Wherever it is. The Catharina hospital in Eindhoven uses the patch for various conditions or treatments. In the video we share their experiences with the Philips healthdot.
Zorg van Nu is an initiative of the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS)
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 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

Remote monitoring with healthcare still close-by
With rising workload and care complexity, we need solutions that safely shift care beyond the hospital. The e/MTIC PRESSURE project delivers continuous, non-invasive home monitoring designed to integrate smoothly into clinical workflows.
Why it matters:
鈥� shorter stays, same safety
鈥� better insight at home
鈥� fewer admin tasks
鈥� faster clinical action
Hybrid care is the future鈥擯RESSURE shows how to make it safe and scalable.

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.
