Clinician Innovator Development Programme (CINDP)

Unmet needs and technology are driving health care providers to achieve greater quality and outcomes, optimum connectivity and communication among caregivers, and seamless interoperability of medical devices and IT systems, while closely coordinating care, increasing care outcome and adding value. CINDP is designed to develop clinician innovators and enable them to develop novel solutions by making innovative changes to the health care system through devices, in-vitro systems and approaches, with an emphasis on “inside-out” solutions.
