Health & Care

Healthcare is under pressure. Medical professionals want to offer their patients the best and the right care, but face staff shortages, rising healthcare costs and a substantial sustainability problem, among others. In collaboration with medical professionals, TU Delft is working on the long-term sustainability of healthcare. Through research and innovation, TU Delft aims to improve patient care and the work of healthcare professionals, and to future-proof and crisis-proof the complex and often inefficient healthcare system.

With over 30% health-related research, a top clinical hospital on our doorstep, and two major academic hospitals in the region, TU Delft makes a global impact. 

Whether developing medical instruments, monitoring, remote care, imaging & sensing, rapid diagnostics or clinical research. Delft engineers are the ideal partner; from the start they work together as a team, involve patients in their research and test as much as possible in healthcare practice. As a result, new technologies are more applicable in practice and find their way more quickly to the OR, the consulting room and the patient's bedside.
