Erasmus MC is a leading, technology-driven academic medical center where patient care, research, education, and innovation come together. The Smart Health Tech Center (SHTC) connects clinical needs with technological innovation, supporting the development, testing, and implementation of new healthcare technologies. Within the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, this approach is closely linked to clinical practice, with advanced wound care as an important area of expertise. By connecting clinicians, researchers, engineers, industry, and other partners, Erasmus MC aims to accelerate innovation and translate new technologies into meaningful solutions for patients and healthcare.
