In various DCVA consortia the medical and technology fields work together already. However, there is not yet a systematic overview of the relevance of technological developments for the greatest cardiovascular challenges.
The DCVA would like to obtain more insight into where technological developments and possibilities and cardiovascular needs meet. Initiated by 4TU.Health, partner of the DCVA, the DCVA has decided to realise a CardioVascular Technical Agenda in 2022. In this agenda cardiovascular challenges and knowledge gaps will be matched with possibilities offered by developments in various (medical) technological fields of expertise. We will identify and prioritize gaps and opportunities for new knowledge development and collaboration.
With this project we aim for the creation of cardiovascular technical partnerships that, both because of the subject they are working on and because of the broad support in the Netherlands, are optimally able to make the greatest possible contribution to reduce the cardiovascular burden of disease.
