Technology & Innovation Zone HealthTech
Our Vision
Our aim is to help your business transform the way health and care is delivered through enabling technologies including sensors, wearables, digital health applications, digital twin, medical devices, surgical technologies and healthcare AI and to do this in an equitable way so that all of society can benefit from innovations in health and care technology
The HealthTech Cluster is a key part of the University of Strathclyde’s quadruple helix health and care ecosystem for driving technology-led and market-changing innovation, economic growth and social impact for the future of health and care.
We are located in the Technology and Innovation Zone in the heart of Glasgow City Innovation District. Working with our partners, we are using state-of-the-art innovation, networks of expertise and a collaborative 'can do' ethos in the fields of diagnostics and wearables, digital health and AI, digital twin-assisted surgery, advanced rehabilitation and assisted living. Through this, we help companies at all stages of the product lifecycle from ideas generation in our co-creation labs to device testing and validation in our state-of-the-art labs and in real world deployments with end users through StrathLab – our Living Lab for Co Creating Better Lives and The Sir Jules Thorn Centre for Co-Creation of Rehabilitation Technology.
All of this is underpinned by world-leading researchers in our health and wellbeing networks and done in collaboration with our NHS, social care, and third sector partners.

Strathclyde University Hospitals
The University of Strathclyde, led by Health & Care Futures at Strathclyde, has established strategic partnerships with NHS Lanarkshire and the NHS Golden Jubilee National Hospital in Clydebank resulting in both organisations being awarded Strathclyde University Status.
The University of Strathclyde is the first University to award the Golden Jubilee National Hospital University Hospital status. This highlights the leading role both institutions play in their respective sectors in driving innovation and development. Under the new partnership, the Golden Jubilee will now be called the Golden Jubilee University National Hospital and will work with the University to develop sustainable, innovative and practical solutions to health and social care challenges that will directly benefit NHSScotland’s patients and workforce for years to come.
The University and NHS Lanarkshire formalised their long-standing collaboration in 2020 with NHS Lanarkshire’s Monklands, Hairmyres and Wishaw Hospitals becoming Strathclyde University Hospitals. The collaboration with NHS Lanarkshire sees the application of multidisciplinary expertise in medicines innovation, future technologies, data analytics, artificial intelligence, leadership and ‘whole systems’ improvement to NHS Lanarkshire’s commitment to high quality and innovative health and social care.
