HEALTH INNOVATION Health is important, whether it’s our minds, bodies, or our wellbeing. At Swansea University, we develop, and improve the way the world looks at health policies, systems, products, technologies, and services that help make people and society better. Swansea University is home to the world-class SAIL Databank which securely stores and uses anonymised person-based data. Research undertaken at the Health Informatics Group produces outcomes to improve health, wellbeing, and services. Our researchers are leading the way in health innovation to improve people’s lives, from: creating the next generation of implantable blood pumps for advanced heart failure, to testing microneedle skin patches to administer vaccines. Swansea University researchers are taking innovative approaches to medicine and health by exploring the use of maggots to clean wounds, and using salmonella to cure cancer. We understand the importance of health, both physical and mental, and strive to improve the health of the population, and the health systems across the UK. swansea.ac.uk/research/research-highlights/ health-innovation 05
