This is just to highlight an event organized by all Scottish university pools. The workshop aims to identify critical problems in the area of “Imaging and Sensing in Medicine and the Life Sciences” which could be addressed by collaborations between the university pools and industry.

I thought I'd share the ABHI programme of events for autumn/winter 2011 with you. Looks really good! Have earmarked the event on the 1st of December 2011 - providing evidence is getting increasingly important for MedTech companies.

You've probably seen the recent news item about a DALLAS community in Scotland. DALLAS formally opens tomorrow at the Scottish Technology Showcase in Glasgow and on the 8th of June, the Assisted Living Innovation Platform Showcase is going to take place at the Glasgow Hilton. This is a real chance for companies in the assisted living space to become involved in the mainstream provision of digital healthcare. Go and find out!

Hello MedTechies,

I just wanted to flag up the new TSB R&D grants, which are very interesting to MedTech companies. They provide rather comprehensive funding for prototyping, clinical trials etc. See the blog on the community homepage for more information.

Please note the blog on the community homepage on a new report by the Electronics, Sensors and Photonics KTN - very relevant!
