Innovative research at DHEZ

Overview of research innovation offering

The environment at DHEZ is designed to enable and foster innovations that improve health outcomes for all.

We work with researchers in the University of Bradford to support the development of health research projects by providing facilities for them to undertake research work, by connecting them with health professionals externally, and by facilitating cross-disciplinary learning.  This supportive research approach also contributes to enriched teaching, placements, and study projects for our undergraduate and postgraduate students. Find out more about the University's research support and activity.

Our Seminar Series showcases innovations in digital health and provides a forum for researchers, healthcare professionals, community and businesses to network and learn about public engagement in healthcare and pathways to implementation of digital health solutions and new models of care.

Find out more below, including an example of a collaborative project at DHEZ that led to advances in hearing aid technology.
