About us

enabling innovation. ensuring compliance

We support healthtech innovators to navigate complexity, reduce risk, and bring safe, effective products to market, faster.

The Healthtech Innovation Support Unit is a collaboration between the School of Healthcare Enterprise and Innovation (SHEI) at the University of Southampton and Southampton Emerging Therapies and Technologies (SETT) at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust.

By combining regulatory expertise, academic and clinical insight, and real-world healthcare experience, we provide a uniquely integrated approach to medical device development.

Too many healthtech innovations never reach patients, not because they lack potential, but because the route to market is complex.

We exist to make your journey clearer, more structured, and achievable.
