TU/e establishes new institute for health technology

May 1, 2026 – The Executive Board has decided to establish a new research institute: the Eindhoven Institute for Transformative Health Technology (HEALTH). The university announced this in a message on its intranet. The institute, which will launch in early 2027, aims to bring together researchers from nearly all departments and contribute to affordable, sustainable, and accessible solutions for health and well-being.

With HEALTH, the university aims to strengthen its position in the field of health technology and increase its societal impact. The institute will focus, among other things, on reducing chronic diseases and on how innovations are translated into real-world applications. It will work closely with hospitals, companies, and other partners to ensure that new technologies actually find their way into clinical practice. / MS
