Our facility will not only serve the needs of healthcare trainees, but also the continuing education of established faculty in advanced techniques and procedures including robotics, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence. The strong collaboration forged here between physicians, healthcare professionals, medical engineers, scientists, researchers, and entrepreneurs will provide direct access to expert educators and advanced technology for all levels of training, with unparalleled excellence. Within the “living laboratory” of one of the largest healthcare systems in North America, our medical teams and engineering talent will produce meaningful clinical and economical value based on data-driven results.

In addition to providing advanced experiential education, IRCAD North America will empower local, national, and international investigators to perform and excel in rapid cycle research and development, minimizing the time medical innovation takes to move from bench to bedside. IRCAD North America will feature a fully integrated innovation ecosystem—including an incubator, accelerator, and scalar—designed to support every stage of product development. This comprehensive platform will empower inventors, startups, and industry partners to transform bold ideas into ground-breaking, innovative solutions.
