Collaborative

The Collaborative stream supports researchers in translating their innovations through clinical trials and research projects.

Overview

MedTechOne Collaborative is part of MedTechONE, which helps tackle challenges faced by those innovating in the MedTech space and supports MedTech entrepreneurs at Imperial College London.
The collaborative branch of MedTechONE specifically works with local and national networks of different clinical specialties. This includes coordinating national evaluations of our technologies in wider clinical trials, as well as accepting incoming devices into our medical technologies programme for support at all stages of translation, from first-in-human to early adoption.
