Do you have an unmet clinical need or an idea for a healthcare solution? We can help you.

Tyree IHealthE provides a service to both clinicians and researchers to help fill the gaps that exist in healthcare innovation; including lack of awareness of possible technology solutions, limited connections to build the right team, insufficient funding, and commercial consideration.

At Tyree IHealthE, we offer a variety of resources, connections, and potential seed funding opportunities to help clinicians and researchers turn their ideas into reality. Our extensive pool of talent from across UNSW allows us to provide unique opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing.
