Health Frontiers – Technology Innovation Centre (HF-TIC)

The Health Frontiers-Technology Innovation Centre, led by Ulster University, is a flagship cross-border hub for research and innovation, driving advancements in next- generation digital health and medical technologies.

Supported by a €9.1 million investment from the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) through the Peace Plus Programme, the Health Frontiers project is set to accelerate progress in digital health and MedTech innovation.

This initiative directly contributes to Peace Plus Investment Area 2.2 – Innovation Challenge Fund, by strengthening research and innovation capabilities and promoting the adoption of advanced technologies.

Through this, the Centre brings together leading universities, healthcare providers, and MedTech enterprises from Northern Ireland, Ireland, and Scotland to accelerate innovation that improves patient care, enhances clinical systems, and drives economic growth.

This project is being led at DkIT by Dr Julie Doyle from the NetwellCASALA research centre. Within the RSRC the project is led by Prof. Fergal McCaffery
