exploring new frontiers in innovation

Through new and existing collaborations, the Innovation Center coordinates a wide range of research projects to unlock new tools for effective health care delivery.

The Innovation Center's demonstrated history of capacity and capability in imaging science has won it distinguished acclaim. Through collaborations with the Wallace-Kettering Neuroscience Institute, we have advanced diagnosis and care for stroke and epilepsy patients. We are now directing our considerable expertise and imaging capabilities to focus on areas such as fatigue, traumatic brain injury, and cancer treatment.

Supporting over 40 ongoing trials, the Innovation Center has established successful partnerships with numerous Fortune 500 companies. We've also conducted many successful trials with smaller companies seeking to test innovative products in clinical settings. Depth of experience and the ability to consistently meet recruiting goals underscore the effectiveness of the Innovation Center's work in this area.

As part of the Kettering Health Network, partners with the Innovation Center have access to seven diverse acute care settings with over 1400 beds, 50 outpatient centers, 6500 health care professionals, and in the near future, a state-of-the-art cardiac hospital. This extensive access provides multiple opportunities to engage in translational research in community-based settings well-suited to effectiveness and outcomes research. The Innovation Center offers an ideal setting in which to bring the latest findings to the bedside. We are conveniently located no less than 50 miles from several major research universities (University of Cincinnati and The Ohio State University). This provides access to the benefits academic health centers offer, while being insulated from a research-saturated environment and its associated complications.
