Perich Centre for Robotics & Health Technology

Pioneering health equity through health technology

Ingham Institute’s Centre for Robotics and Health Technology (Perich Centre) is an Automation Imaginarium; a clinician-led 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.

Ingham Institute’s program in robotics and health technology 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.

Key initiatives

  • Adolescent wellbeing: AI-supported diagnosis of autism at home for rural and regional families
  • Oral health: M-health solutions bringing dental care to the disadvantaged
  • Nursing/Midwifery: Telemonitoring for vulnerable populations with long Covid
  • Correlative microscopy: A desktop electron microscope “mobile imaging lab” with potential application in rural, regional and First Nations communities
  • Surgical robotics: Research-enabled surgical robotics in a public hospital
  • Cardiovascular: Sono-thrombolysis to save heart tissue pre-hospital, irrespective of geography
  • Assistive Technology: gamification of rehabilitation to improve quality of life post brain injury.

Join us in our mission to achieve health equity through health tech.
