​The Ōtautahi Christchurch hub will support and advance medical technologies that enable access, achieve equity and improve health outcomes in Canterbury, and across Aotearoa. The hub is supported by Te Papa Hauora Health Precinct, a partnership between the University of Canterbury, the University of Otago, Ara Te Pūkenga and Te Whatu Ora Waitaha, with support from Ngāi Tūāhuriri, our Mana Whenua. The hub will bring together health research and development partners, the health system and industry partners to design, develop and prototype MedTech solutions, enabling the rapid translation of research findings and technology solutions to the clinical environment.
