The Materials and Manufacturing in Healthcare Innovation Network (MMHIN) is a joint effort of the UCL Institute of Making and the UCL Institute of Healthcare Engineering. The Network development was supported by UCL Innovation & Enterprise via the UCL Impact Acceleration Account (UCL Innovation Network grant). The MMHIN virtual platform connects our Partners, including academics, clinicians, industry, funders and regulatory members, to form collaborations and enable healthcare innovation that can bring true impact to patients.
MMHIN aims to promote innovation as much as possible. For this, we host public and Partners only events. Information can be found under “Upcoming Events” and their outcomes are showcased in “News”, which is available for anyone who visits the site. Our Core UCL Team and Partners will also showcase other innovation stories that can inspire innovation further.
Becoming a Partner will allow full access to our Partner database to begin solving healthcare challenges. To join the MMHIN Network, please apply here to begin the approval process.
