The Centre for Digital Healthcare Technology (CDHT) is one of the five innovation projects that underpin the Belfast Region City Deal (BRCD). It builds upon Ulster University's world class research capabilities and established track record in the arena of Medical Technology (MedTech) and Digital Healthcare Technology and has been developed by Ulster University (UU), in partnership with the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust (BHSCT). The vision underpinning CDHT is to help establish the Belfast City Region as one of the best places in the world to design, develop and launch innovative medical devices and diagnostics measurably contributing to economic growth and productivity, reduced healthcare costs, enhanced levels of care and improved patient outcomes. It seeks to achieve this through the development of a collaborative innovation ecosystem that enables clinicians, industry and researchers to work 'cheek by jowl', driving development in medical technology by innovation and co-ideation, through the process of design, trialing and manufacture, to the market, and hence the patient. The project will involve the construction of a new six storey building titled "Centre for Digital Health Technology" (CDHT) which is a research and development facility (Use Class B1), comprising of laboratories, office spaces, communal meeting areas, and public realm improvements to Frederick Street.
