Industry of the Future

"Wearable technologies have become an integral part of so many people's lives, and these types of devices have tremendous potential to enhance the way health care is provided. Our researchers are leading efforts to maximize the power of these technologies

University of Arizona President Robert C. Robbins, M.D.

Technology-Health Care Nexus

“The future of health care is not only in providing improved treatments for injury or disease, but in providing the resources and tools for individuals to take a more active role in monitoring and maintaining their own health.”

Department Head Arthur Gmitro

Interdisciplinary Signature

“Through my own research, I know the absolute necessity of an interdisciplinary approach in solving important health challenges.”

BIO5 Director Jennifer Barton

In Good Health

“I considered many options for majors during my first few semesters in college, but my heart is truly with the medical side of engineering. I want to help people directly with their health.”
