About Us

We’re connectors

Penn Health-Tech is an interdisciplinary center launched in 2017 to advance medical device innovation across the Perelman School of Medicine and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. We do that in two primary ways: by helping forge collaborative connections among Penn researchers and by providing seed funding to incubate novel ideas to advance health care.
