A collaborative ecosystem driving real-world innovation in cancer care
IMAGINE is designed as an open innovation lab, enabling clinicians, mathematicians, AI developers, imaging scientists, engineers, design experts and medtech companies to collaborate on real-world challenges. By working within a hospital environment, the consortium ensures that innovations are informed by real patient needs and can be safely and rapidly translated into practice.
The IMAGINE consortium unites a comprehensive group of partners from across the healthcare innovation ecosystem:
- Academic and Research Institutions: UMC Utrecht, Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Hospital/Netherlands Cancer Institute, Radboudumc, Catharina Hospital, Eindhoven University of Technology, Utrecht University and its incubator UtrechtInc, and the National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI).
- Industry Partners: Philips, Elekta, KALCIO Healthcare, and Tesla Dynamic Coils.
- Educational Institutions: Fontys University of Applied Sciences, University of Applied Sciences Utrecht, and The Hague University of Applied Sciences.
Together, these partners are advancing the development, validation, and clinical implementation of image-guided technologies to improve cancer care and future-proof the healthcare system.
