About the centre

Center for Innovation and e-Health

CieH implements innovation and e-Health strategies and policies that advance the development of UMF „Carol Davila”, in accordance with national, European and international dynamics.

What CieH represents

A single home for medical innovation at UMFCD

The Center for Innovation and e-Health (Centrul de Inovație și e-Health) is the university structure responsible for putting innovation and e-Health strategy into practice at UMF „Carol Davila” Bucharest. It exists so that new technology reaches teaching rooms, laboratories and clinical practice rather than staying in pilot projects.

Its work is carried out through seven cores — digital solutions and e-Health, data analysis and artificial intelligence, 3D printing, computational cardiology, digital communication, precision medicine and extended reality, and space medicine — each combining physicians, engineers, researchers and students around a shared facility.

Objectives

What CieH aims to achieve
