Clinical Reseach Infrastructure

The ITM is currently establishing facilites that enable clinical research at ETH. For this purpose, we work with different ETH locations, like the new building GLC and Schlieren, and with our partner hospital Kantonsspital Baden.

dTIP is an ETH technology platform created to support researchers in clinical evidence generation and support entrepreneurs with the regulatory aspects of product development. dTIP is built around three interdisciplinary expert units, staffed with clinical trials, data management and regulatory experts. We collaborate with clinical and non-​​clinical partners within academia and/or industry in order to deliver a high quality service for clinical trials and along the product development life cycle.

Advances in digital health, artificial intelligence, and precision medicine promise great benefit to society while presenting novel ethical questions. The Health Ethics and Policy Lab investigates these challenges and recommends solutions for health policy and practice. Current projects include a roadmap for the governance of digital health innovation in Switzerland, research into the philosophy of aging, and participation in a consortium on the implications of personalized technologies for stroke. Through research methods such as normative analysis, visualization, and quantitative and qualitative approaches, our group seeks to contribute to the future of health policy and the promotion of equitable health benefits from these emerging technologies.

The current healthcare system has been built to diagnose and treat disease. As a result great achievements have been made for billions of patients over the past 80 years. At the same time our healthcare systems in the “developed” world are starting to show their limits when it comes to the most pending health challenges, such as there are the rising costs, the persisting global in-​equality as well as our aging population. Despite the big advances in the past decades, medical progress seems to wear itself out, especially with regard to the growing burden of non-​communicable diseases.

Exploring and catalyzing hands-​on solutions on the frontier of P4 medicine, IHCHI is on a mission to shape the commons of the emerging human-​centered health innovation eco-​system and drive collaboration in a multi stakeholder setting.

The association "Swiss Network for Digital Medical Regulation" sees itself as a unique research-​based instrument for the promotion of digitalisation in regulation with close links to authorities, universities, industry and public and private institutions or interest groups.

It catalyses understanding of regulatory issues among the public and political opinion-​makers and offers assistance on legislative and technical issues. Its range of members, from academia to industrial users to patient associations, ensures a broad interdisciplinary knowledge and expertise that enables novel approaches to regulatory issues.

We are committed to providing our MedTech industry and its SMEs with a simpler yet viable way to register their new, innovative products. We have developed new ideas that we would like to share with you for in-​depth discussion.
