Eindhoven MedTech Innovation Center (e/MTIC)

What Eindhoven MedTech Innovation Center (e/MTIC) does

The Eindhoven MedTech Innovation Center (e/MTIC) is a large-scale, multi-institutional research collaboration based in Eindhoven, Netherlands, designed to compress the time between high-tech health research and clinical implementation. It operates as a consortium anchored at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) within the EAISI research group, bringing together three clinical partners — Catharina Hospital (CH), Maxima Medical Center (MMC), and Kempenhaeghe Epilepsy and Sleep Center (KH) — alongside academic partner TU/e and industry partner Royal Philips Eindhoven (RPE). The collaboration is focused on three research domains: cardiovascular medicine, perinatal medicine, and sleep medicine, and currently encompasses approximately 100 PhD students supervised by a comparable number of experts drawn from the partner institutions.

e/MTIC's technical deliverables span both software infrastructure and applied medical AI. Core platforms include the Health Data Portal (HDP) for cross-institution health data management, and the AI-Lab for machine learning and deep-learning development in clinical settings. Applied AI products include ForSee ("AI Nurse"), a camera-based contact-free vital signs monitor that uses computer vision to infer blood pressure and other vitals from subtle skin-color changes; the Philips healthdot Smart Patch for remote heart-rate and respiration monitoring, deployed at Catharina Hospital; a Smart Mattress for neonatal and preterm care; and the PRESSURE Project for continuous non-invasive home monitoring integrated with hospital workflows. AI modalities cover video, structured sensor data, and medical imaging (ultrasound, echocardiography, MRI), with AI capabilities in computer vision, predictive analytics (deterioration, arrhythmia, pregnancy-risk forecasting), and process automation for hybrid care delivery.

The entity is not a commercial operation: e/MTIC does not operate a commercial revenue model and is funded through institutional partnerships and research grants. Innovations are deployed clinically through partner hospitals and reach the market via Royal Philips commercialization. Outreach is conducted through a bi-monthly newsletter, academic publications, workshops, and video content targeting talent, clinicians, and industry partners in the Brainport region and beyond.

Core offering

e/MTIC runs a multi-stakeholder research collaboration that develops, clinically validates, and pilots high-tech healthcare innovations across cardiovascular, perinatal, and sleep medicine. The consortium pairs roughly 100 PhD researchers with about 100 clinical and engineering experts to build AI-driven decision support, wearable monitoring, and connected-care prototypes that move from lab to bedside through partner hospitals and Philips.

Product overview

Eindhoven MedTech Innovation Center (e/MTIC) operates as an ecosystem for healthcare innovation rather than a single product company. The core offerings include the Health Data Portal for data management and AI-Lab for AI research development. Key products include the ForSee AI Nurse system for camera-based vital signs monitoring, the Philips healthdot Smart Patch for remote patient monitoring, and a Smart Mattress for neonatal care. The PRESSURE Project delivers continuous home monitoring. These products work together within a collaborative ecosystem involving Catharina Hospital, Maxima Medical Center, Kempenhaeghe, TU/e, and Royal Philips to accelerate high-tech health innovation in cardiovascular, perinatal, and sleep medicine domains.

Direct peers

• King's Health Partners: Academic Health Science Centre linking King's College London with Guy's and St Thomas', King's College Hospital, and South London and Maudsley NHS Trusts. Comparable multi-institutional clinical-academic partnership aimed at accelerating health innovation.
• Stanford Byers Center for Biodesign: Stanford-affiliated innovation program that trains multidisciplinary teams to identify clinical needs and develop medtech solutions with academic and industry partners. Comparable as a university-anchored health-tech innovation ecosystem with a translational mission similar to e/MTIC.
• Karolinska Institutet / Innovations: University-medical innovation unit translating Karolinska research into clinical applications. Comparable as a European academic-medical research-and-innovation hub with a similar translational focus to e/MTIC's Heart, Perinatal, and Sleep programs.
• Imperial College Health Partners / Imperial College Institute of Healthcare: Imperial College London-linked academic clinical partnership supporting medtech research, digital health, and clinical translation. Directly comparable as a UK/Netherlands-European style university-hospital-industry collaboration.
• Berlin Institute of Health (BIH): Charité and MDC-affiliated translational research institute converting biomedical discovery into clinical practice. Comparable to e/MTIC in operating as a multi-institutional research-translation engine with strong clinical integration in Europe.
• CIMIT (Center for Integration of Medicine & Innovative Technology): Boston-based consortium linking academic, clinical, and industry partners (including Mass General Brigham and Boston-area engineering schools) to accelerate translational medical technology.
