What is MedTech SuperConnector?
MedTech SuperConnector helps empower early career researchers to translate academic insights from the arts and sciences into early stage medical technologies. Drawing on the innovation expertise of eight leading institutions, its remit is to support technological innovation, advance entrepreneurship education and find new and effective ways to accelerate MedTech R&D.
The Showcase highlights the ventures from the programme’s sixith cohort.
This is an in-person event.
What is the agenda?
The Showcase is where participants of the Imperial-led MTSC programme can pitch their ventures, translating academic insights into early-stage medical innovations. You will have the opportunity to learn about their developments to date and the next steps forward.

Technologies you’ll hear from
- aiKNIT – Sophie Richter – Imperial College London
- A cutting-edge material technology that enhances human capability, performance and wellbeing. We design tailor-made wearables which adapt to the human body to support healing processes and body functions, developing human-centred products that last.
- ConformiTi – Hana Fox – Imperial College London
- Using novel additive manufactured technology, we are developing spinal implants for improved fit to the patient. Optimising load distribution and enhancing bone growth for superior surgical outcomes.
- Developing point-of-care tuberculosis diagnostics – Christopher Shield – Royal Veterinary College
- A tuberculosis test that delivers what others cannot. We are removing barriers to test access by making a diagnostic that is rapid, cost-effective and equipment-free. Empowering the least advantaged to manage their communities’ health sustainably.
- Dotplot – Shefali Bohra – Imperial College London
- Dotplot aims to be the first at-home breast health monitoring tool to guide and assist women to conduct breast self-checks and eliminate late detection of breast cancer.
- Echo Band – Kourosh Sam Kamali – Imperial College London
- The All-in-One, Wearable Medical Device, for Stroke Rehabilitation. A smart band, that records signals in paralysed muscles. Allowing patients to move their arms and legs, via electrical stimulation.
- Go Assistive Technology – Dr Clément Favier – Imperial College London
- We believe that a life without barriers is possible. Go Assistive Technology designs and manufactures high-quality prosthetic products specifically for resource-constrained and environmentally challenging settings. Let’s build successful life stories, together. Go.
- The HIVQuant Project – Dr Catherine Kibirige – Imperial College London
- We are commercializing an ambient temperature HIV-1 RNA/DNA quantification kit for research and clinical purposes. It works on portable solar, or battery driven cyclers and provides a point–of-care HIV-1 treatment monitoring for resource-constrained settings.
- Imaging Driven Multifunctional Bioplotter – Dr Sudeep Joshi – The Francis Crick Institute
- This project is focused on creating a next generation bioengineering platform that combines 3d bioprinting, imaging, and microfabrication to create complex cellular models of biological systems.
- Liquibio – Dr Elijah Mojares – Queen Mary University of London
- Liquibio is building a biomanufacturing platform to enable continuous manufacturing of mammalian cells at scale – starting with cultivated meat. We create edible scaffolding from food production side streams that is 100x cheaper than conventional microcarriers.
- MakeSense Technology – Robert Quinn – Imperial College London
- The world’s most effective non-visual wayfinding technology.
- NEX.Q – Ashleigh Myall – Imperial College London
- NEX.Q combats healthcare-associated infections by developing DeepTech support systems for infection prevention and control. Through integrating computational learning models into user-friendly software, we are providing innovations to clinical teams to prevent and control disease transmission.
- OncoAssign – Dr Ashwin Nandakumar – Institute of Cancer Research
- At OncoAssign we are developing complementary diagnostics to enable oncologists to identify the most suitable treatment for a cancer patient, preventing relapse and eliminating unnecessary toxic therapies.
- Smrtflo – Dr Pasha Normahani – Imperial College London
- A digital platform that transforms commonly used hardware into a powerful tool for the detection of poor circulation – redefining these diagnostics with high performance signal processing and proprietary machine learning technology.
