NIHR HRC in Diagnostic and Technology Evaluation

The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) HealthTech Research Centre (HRC) in Diagnostic and Technology Evaluation is part of the NIHR and hosted by Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in partnership with Newcastle University. We aim to ensure that better diagnostics are available as quickly as possible for patients by efficiently evaluating them. We assess new diagnostic tests and devices, such as technologies related to imaging, artificial intelligence, and digital healthcare. Since 2013, we have supported innovators by helping them to obtain funding and to generate a portfolio of evidence as they bring their diagnostics to the UK healthcare market. We are committed to embedding equity, diversity, and inclusion in everything we do. Our vision is to be a diverse and inclusive organisation that represents our communities, enables equitable access to healthcare and in which all people leading, delivering, and involved in our research can thrive. We evaluate diagnostics for: • Ageing and Multiple Long-Term Conditions • Infection • Precision Medicine and Rare Diseases Our independent expertise includes: • Advice on clinical scenarios and patient care pathway analysis • Design, set up and analysis of clinical evaluation studies • Health economics Follow us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/nihrtechevalhrc.bsky.social Sign up to our mailing list: https://nihr.us19.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e2bc94e48776f2ff2e7796f59&id=91939b08b5
