How we develop innovation in the Life Science Industry

Much of our work at PDR is engaged with the Life Sciences industries; be that through developing products or services for a medical device, or our research work specialising in reconstructive surgery and prosthetics.

We work closely with Life Sciences Hub Wales; an arms-length body responsible for encouraging collaboration between the life sciences and industry and academia in health and social care. As a result of this, our innovations within healthcare include the award-winning Brace and Female Brace, a Foetal Heart Monitor, and a breakthrough product that assesses the effectiveness of antidepressants.

In our latest video, Professor Andrew Walters discusses how we develop and nurture innovation within the Welsh life sciences sector, and explores how a design approach can foster collaboration across industry, social care and hospitals.
