Digitisation for diagnostics and development of new applications and devices

icon

A medical device is any instrument, apparatus, machine, implant, in vitro reagent, software, material or other similar or related item for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of diseases and illnesses. 

The Medical Devices and Digital Health focus area benefits from the infrastructure of all Basque stakeholders in the innovation ecosystem related to medical devices and digital health. Specifically, it is made up of R&D centres, universities and public biohealth institutes in the Basque Country, meaning it is highly qualified to offer SMEs and entrepreneurs in the sector technological and economic consultancy; support in design, prototyping and validation; or specialised training activities.
