Creating Medical Solutions with Technology

Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School launch the Center for Innovation to build pathways to medical breakthrough. A new center for innovation builds pathways to medical breakthroughs. “We’re at an inflection point,” says Partho Sengupta, MD, FACC. Healthcare providers know patients have complex needs when fighting cardiovascular disease. At the same time, technology provides new and expanding opportunities to detect, monitor and treat heart problems and related conditions. Now Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH) and Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (Rutgers RWJMS) are seizing the moment with the launch of a new initiative called the Center for Innovation. Located on the main campus of the hospital, the center held its grand opening in September. The center’s concept and design were led by the Cardiovascular Services team under the direction of Dr. Sengupta, the Henry Rutgers Professor of Cardiology and Chief of the Division of Cardiovascular Disease and Hypertension at Rutgers RWJMS, Chief of Cardiology at RWJUH, and a member of RWJBarnabas Health Medical Group.
