Ingham Institute’s Centre for Robotics and Health Technology (Perich Centre) is an Automation Imaginarium; a hub for the innovation, ignition and accelerated adoption of automation in health.
The vision of the Centre is “tech-quity”: pioneering global health equity through health technology.
The Centre aims to be a global leader in the application of healthcare automation to enhance care, increase access, and improve outcomes: first for our communities, then the world.
Ingham Institute’s program in healthcare automation was launched in 2020 by the NSW Chief Scientist & Engineer. The research platform supports a thriving virtual hub of some 60+ clinician scientists. The Perich Centre provides a physical home for this work in a dedicated, 1,300 sqm facility within Ingham Institute in Liverpool.
The CATALYST Hub stands for Delivering Clinical AI Translation and Leadership and promoting equitY, Sovereignty and Trust. The Hub was established to ensure that the future of digital health in NSW is built on a safe and ethical foundation.
Led by Dr Zaidon Al-Falahi, its mission is to create a trusted pipeline of clinician-led, patient-centred AI innovations that are safe, scalable, and equitable — improving outcomes for priority populations and positioning NSW as a global leader in responsible health AI.
To meet these imperatives, Ingham Institute developed an in-house, sovereign capability to co-develop, rigorously test, and scale AI solutions that are purpose-built for our system, our clinicians, and our patients. It will accelerate the translation of digital innovations — moving rapidly from idea to prototype, from prototype to validated tool, and from validated tool to statewide adoption.
Early track record of the Hub includes a Patient Record Intelligence and Summarisation Module (PRISM), local voice-text transcription, personalized AI powered health-coach, and advanced machine learning based ECG analysis research.

“We work in one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse regions in Australia – one with significant health challenges. Yet it is among the most underserved in terms of access to cutting-edge health technologies. South West Sydney is the ideal place to build a sustainable pipeline for ethical, inclusive and evidence-based health technology translation; we are creating real impact for real people in real time.”
