Innovation at ISGlobal translates leading research results into solutions for global public health challenges (Knowledge & Technology Transfer, KTT), in the framework of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Through the collaboration with citizens, patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, it integrates their needs, preferences and expectations into the solutions created.

By embracing the Open Innovation approach, the main purpose of ISGlobal innovation is on generating IMPACT by developing and transferring innovative sustainable tools that citizens, caregivers, clinicians and public health systems can benefit from, contributing to wellness and prosperity.

What ISGlobal innovation products can be transferred to the market?
