Medtech and Robotics

Our researchers stand at the forefront of the Medtech and Robotics fields, harnessing cutting-edge technology to redefine healthcare and diagnostics. Emphasising the integration of smart wearable technology and mobile health in digital health initiatives, our center actively explores the synergy between human and computer interactions, considering patients as integral components of the hardware loop. 

Our research delves into the fusion of medical imaging and artificial intelligence, paving the way for more precise diagnoses and treatments. This approach extends to medical mechatronics, surgical robotics, and medical imaging, encompassing areas like soft robotics and biorobotics. Our expansive scope in Medtech and Robotics facilitates multidisciplinary translational research, driving innovation and development in novel healthcare technologies. 

At the heart of our endeavors is the use of novel technologies for accurate, minimally invasive procedures, enhancing clinical precision and efficacy. Our expertise also extends to prostate diagnosis and treatment, where image-guided therapies offer less invasive alternatives with improved outcomes for biopsies, drug delivery and ablative treatment. 

Moreover, we are pioneering in the domain of soft robotics. Our development of soft robotic fabric actuators, such as those used in hand exoskeletons, demonstrates our commitment to creating accessible, cost-efficient, and user-friendly solutions for various applications. 

Our vision aligns with the broader strategic theme “Engineering Better Medicine” in the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Queen Mary, leading in the development of innovative technologies for medical and diagnostic applications, ultimately contributing to a future where healthcare is more effective, efficient, and accessible to all.
