• Tech Forward 2.0 Discussion - Health and Well-Being

       Monday, Nov. 3 from 4-5pm in MUB A1

Please join the Tech Forward 2.0 theme/initiative Health and Well-Being in a discussion that will assist in shaping Michigan Tech’s future in health partnerships, research, education, and workforce development. The group seeks feedback on proposed concepts and welcomes ideas to strengthen connections between health, technology, and community well-being. 

Michigan Tech’s strengths in research, industry engagement, and a talented faculty and student body provide a strong foundation for advancing health-related initiatives. This conversation will explore how the University can leverage those strengths to improve access to healthcare partnerships, expand interdisciplinary training, and enhance infrastructure for innovation in health and wellbeing. 

Concepts to be discussed include:

Health Partnerships: Building long-term collaborations with other academic and research institutions, hospitals, nonprofits, and industry partners focused on rural and digital health, research, and workforce upskilling.

Health Research Resources: Expanding access to computing and technical resources that enable biomedical and health research, wellness tracking, and training across disciplines such as nursing, biomedical engineering, kinesiology and integrated physiology, and other related areas.

Healthcare Workforce Development: Increasing on-campus resources to foster hands-on learning, student-industry collaboration, and micro-credentialing opportunities.

Your participation and insights on the services, tools, competencies, and collaborations we can build to enhance competitiveness will help shape the strategic direction of this effort.

We look forward to your participation.
