Technology Translation Forum & Hub Highlights 2023

The ARC Research Hub for Connected Sensors for Health and Tyree Foundation Institute of Health Engineering share a common vision for developing and translating health technologies that deliver improved health outcomes and societal impact. With this shared vision, we are proud to present this Technology Translation Forum & Hub highlights that bring together our diverse community consisting of researchers, clinicians, and industry partners to discuss key translational topics and learn about the breadth of work we support.

The event will include a Technology Translation Forum and the Hub’s research project progress. The Translation Forum will feature a pair of esteemed speakers who will share their thoughts on important translational topics facing researchers and their industry collaborators and will be followed by a panel discussion on intellectual property. The showcase session will involve updated presentations from each of the hub themes, followed by a network session.
