In North East Scotland we have expertise in engineering and technology, as well as leading life sciences research in academia and the NHS. The health technology sector is growing, creating innovations that could transform people’s health.
In One HealthTech Aberdeen, we strongly believe that embedding diversity in health technology will result in a more successful health tech sector in North East Scotland that benefits everyone. We aspire to be a centre for discussion, debate, but also concrete actions to help our local community.
Have a look at our campaigns and events below, and please get in touch if you would like to get involved!
The OHT Toolkit campaign identified lack of technical skills as a barrier for people interested in entering the healthtech sector.
In collaboration with the MedTech student society at Aberdeen University, we are developing health analytics workshops that we will initially offer to medical students, and then open to the local community.
