Health Technology Biography
Healthcare Technologies is a new EPSRC challenge theme which looks across the entire EPSRC research and training portfolio in identifying solutions that underpin the Healthcare and Life Sciences sectors (including the NHS and pharmaceutical and medical technology industries). This theme will play a vital role in sponsoring basic research capabilities which will create new techniques and technologies to address national and global health challenges. The four main strategic priorities identified to provide a focus for funding in the current Delivery Plan period are: Novel treatment and therapeutic technologies: advancing Engineering and Physical Science research in regenerative medicine, drug delivery, artificial implants and prosthetics, surgical tools; advances in complex modelling capability to enable biomedical research into disease and therapy progression (whole organ / whole system); Enhanced prediction and diagnosis in real time and at the point of care: improved, dynamic multi-modal imaging across scales; biomarker and contrast agent development and delivery; sensor technologies to detect and measure physical condition and biomedical markers in real time; integration of sensors to a system and data handling; Technologies for a healthy life-course: technologies aimed at retaining and restoring personal function and retaining mobility and independence; tools for self management of health (primarily via the RCUK Ageing: Lifelong Health and Wellbeing programme); Design, manufacture and integration of healthcare technologies:
