Health & Medical Technology

Continued advocacy for research collaboration, translation, and commercialisation for health technologies has the potential to transform Australia’s healthcare sector.

Innovative technologies can play a major role in reducing healthcare costs, improving patient outcomes, and building a strong Australian industry base. 

ATSE’s Health and medical technology forum explores how technology is helping progress the healthcare sector towards a more sustainable and resilient future. The Forum contains experts in medical science, medical technologies, health governance and administration and medical manufacturing.  The Forum is current working on projects relating to anti-microbial resistance, research translation and digital health technologies.
