EPSRC - Healthcare Technologies Grand Challenges
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is in the process of identifying a number of 'Grand Challenges' in Healthcare Technologies.
Grand Challenges are significant problems that need to be addressed via a long-term, multidisciplinary approach from researchers.
To develop the challenges the EPSRC has launched a set of web surveys to collect views from across the community on a shortlist of 10 possible topics. They are:
- Data analytics and digital infrastructure for healthcare;
- Enabling technologies for regenerative medicine;
- Engineering healthy behaviours;
- Functional enhancement for safe and independent living;
- Infection prevention and control;
- Patient specific treatment;
- Prediction and early diagnosis;
- Smart surgeries and therapies;
- Systems to support and improve healthcare provision;
- Understanding and interventions in neurological function.

The deadline for responses is Tuesday 10 June.
