A collaborative approach to innovation
Adjacent to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, our state-of-the-art facility at Rosenfeld Hall unites experts from across UCLA’s diverse disciplines—including the David Geffen School of Medicine and the California NanoSystems Institutes.
Accelerating healthcare innovation for a changing world
An aging population & rising costs
In the U.S., poor access to care leads to $93 billion in annual losses, plus $42 billion in lost productivity and costs from premature death.1
20% of Americans will be 65+ by 2030, raising demand for accessible healthcare.2
A rapidly shifting marketplace
The global telemedicine market is projected to surge from $97.15 billion in 2023 to $432.31 billion by 2032, driven by remote care needs.3
The global healthcare robotics market is projected to reach $21 billion by 2028, emphasizing the need for precision and efficiency. 4
Let's lead the industry forward.
