Impact
One of our core values is creating positive societal impact through innovation. We strive to improve lives and build a better future by developing new MedTech solutions and fostering vibrant Australian-grown enterprises.
This video highlights the groundbreaking work of TeleClinical Care (TCC). The TCC story highlights the importance of co-design and illustrates strong partnership with Prince of Wales Hospital, clinicians, and end-users.
The Assistive Tech Hub at UNSW is a collaborative and innovative space dedicated to developing life-changing assistive technology. At the core of its approach is co-creation; end-users are valued as co-creators rather than clients.

Bionic Bridge
Bionic Bridge is a modular training device designed to support upper-limb amputees as they learn to use a prosthesis. Developed through the 2026 Taste of Innovation program, the system combines an adjustable sleeve, a bionic hand interface and EMG signal control, with a low-cost training module designed to support continued practice at home. The next phase will refine and integrate the technology to improve its reliability, usability and potential for further clinical testing.
Brace Buddy
Brace Buddy is a rehabilitation assessment concept focused on quantifying movement quality and impact during osteoporosis rehabilitation. Developed as part of the IHealthE Taste of Innovation Program, the project explores how objective measurement tools can support validation, feedback, and safer rehabilitation practice for people at risk of fracture.
Rehabit
Rehabit is a rehabilitation technology project developed through the 2026 Taste of Innovation program. Following the successful development of an initial hardware and software prototype, the system is now being trialled at the Prince of Wales Hospital Rehabilitation Gym. The next phase will focus on refining the technology and supporting its progression towards a reliable, scalable and commercially viable solution.
