About iTMT
History
The iTMT Living Lab is a transdisciplinary open innovation platform where engineers, scientists, students, clinicians, patients, caregivers and other health technology users, the medical technology industry, healthcare system stakeholders and policymakers are at the center of an integrative and collaborative process.
This environment provides a framework for the development, validation and implementation of innovative medical technologies aimed at meeting unmet needs.
With $95 million in funding from the Apogee Canada Fund for Research Excellence, the Fonds de recherche du Québec, the Ministère de l’Économie et de l’Innovation du Québec and several other partners, the Institut TransMedTech is headed by Carl-Éric Aubin, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal and researcher at CHU Sainte-Justine, who has won numerous awards for his decisive and innovative contributions to the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases.
« The Institut TransMedTech is a unique initiative which, through its positioning as a sectoral center of excellence in biomedical engineering and medical technologies, is leading to innovations likely to transform patients’ lives and have a significant impact on the healthcare system and the medical industry. »
