Oxford Healthtech Labs
Training the next generation of global (social) innovators
Mission
Oxford Healthtech Labs teaches the Needs-Led Innovation Process, a systematic and proven approach to 'needs' finding, designed to de-risk the invention of suitable innovative technologies that take into account the important stakeholders of current healthcare and industry settings. Oxford Healthtech Labs also has a particular focus on social entrepreneurship during the fellowship programme.
Programmes
Oxford Healthtech Labs offers two programmes, the Global Insight Fellowships (GIF) programme and the Enterprise Process Labs - High Intensity Training (EPL-HIT) programme.
Oxford Biodesign
Oxford Healthtech Labs is supported by EIT Health and is the next generation of programmes that emerged from Oxford Biodesign. Oxford Healthtech Labs builds on years of experience running needs-driven innovation training programmes at the University of Oxford. It is a joint initiative between the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford and Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, in collaboration with Sorbonne University and Sanofi Espoir Foundation. EPL-HIT is partially funded by the National Productivity Investment Fund, of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
