Health & Care

Healthcare is under pressure: research and innovation can help make it future-proof.

Can advanced monitoring predict heart failure and other illnesses? Or can we produce new antibiotics using micro organisms? How can we help patients navigate an often complex healthcare system? Can technology help prevent illnesses?

The technological solutions, multidisciplinary partnerships and groundbreaking innovations of TU Delft are improving patient care and helping care professionals.
