Clinical Living Lab
For innovation outcomes, these Clinical Living Labs will offer:
- Access to clinicians to validate and co-ideate for new products, processes and services.
- Proximity to clinical staff, the lab will increase the engagement of clinicians and boost the clinical aspect of new innovations and boost the wider digital healthcare ecosystem.
- Access to a range of advanced clinical equipment which is dedicated to research and development projects.
- Assistance with the development of and running small scale clinical trials with various patient cohorts.
- Enhanced and accelerated innovation routes with rapid prototyping.
- Brainstorming and user needs understanding by co-location within the eco system.
Gaining feedback from users in a real-world setting combined with rapid product iteration is critical to the CDHT mission and the approach being adapted within the centre.
Our operations within CDHT strengthens new product and process value propositions and supports the speed and de-risking of the innovation process. Specific usage in the living labs within the CDHT structure provides access to and support with:
- Real-time and real-life operating theatre with monitoring and measuring equipment and sensors
- Application of AI in the theatre or healthcare setting
- Co-design of workflow and workflow management
- Designing integrated care
- Clinical training and re-design of protocols for efficiency and patient safety
- Research, development and innovation of minimal invasive instruments, implants and wearables
- Co-morbidity diagnostics
- E-Health applications in rehabilitation, such as heart failure and falls
- E-Health in medication support
- Physiological monitoring and point-of-care diagnostics
- UX trials and improved self-use systems
- Inter-operability in digital health
- Wireless solutions
It’s where digital health breakthroughs are brought to life with rigour, realism, and collaboration.
Key clinical research facilities include a Trusted Research Environment, Smart Theatres of the future with Surgical Robotics and state of art imaging, design & rapid proto-typing labs, as well as diagnostics innovation suites.
