MedTech @ Leicester 2025

Sir Bob Burgess Building SBB LT2 (2nd Floor), University of Leicester - September 1st all-day

This is a FREE event to explore the latest developments in medical technology research at the University of Leicester.

BERG invite you to join us for our annual MedTech @ Leicester day!

This is a free event showcasing the translation of clinical research at Leicester into innovative technologies with the potential to improve people’s lives and wellbeing. Come along to see the translation work we are doing, network to find technology solutions to clinical needs, explore opportunities for new MedTech projects, discover funding opportunities and meet the team. There will be an opportunity for lightning talks and poster presentations (specify your preferences at ticket checkout).

What is MedTech/HealthTech? MedTech/HealthTech is the intersection of medical science, healthcare delivery, and cutting-edge technology, encompassing a wide range of innovative devices, software solutions, and systems designed to improve patient care, diagnosis, treatment, and overall health management. This exciting and rapidly evolving field includes everything from wearable health monitors and telemedicine platforms to AI-powered diagnostic tools, advanced medical imaging technologies and tissue engineering, all aimed at enhancing healthcare efficiency, accessibility, and improving patient outcomes.

Why attend? Technologists, clinicians and innovators should attend to learn about the latest developments in MedTech research at the University of Leicester, exciting new projects to contribute to, meet new health technology collaborators and explore opportunities for funded research and innovation projects in this space.

Our strategic objective for this annual MedTech @ Leicester day is to generate new collaborations with clinicians, healthcare professionals, other technologists and innovators to explore additional MedTech translation projects. We are particularly interested to hear from clinicians with expertise in multimorbid conditions - where technologies may improve patient outcomes and manage disease progression.

Meet the team to explore how we might be able to solve healthcare challenges together.
