Clinicians

Engaging Medical Technology Innovation
If you are a clinician with a MedTech idea, Medtech-iQ Aotearoa can help with collaboration, learning, and growing your idea, and your know how, in all things MedTech.
Collaborate

There are a number of networks and forums for you to participate in, to understand the MedTech sector in Aotearoa, New Zealand.

‍

To get an initial understanding of the sector, you can start by contacting your Health NZ | Te Whatu Ora Innovation team, here.

For clinicians that are not employed by Health NZ | Te Whatu Ora, an affiliate partner, see below for places to connect and explore.
