Welcome to Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Engineering

Hand in Hand

RCHE partners with a variety of healthcare organizations. Some provide "living laboratories" while others are important to helping disseminate research findings for broader application.

Transforming Healthcare

RCHE applies the principles of engineering, science, and management research to provide research-based solutions for transforming the healthcare system.

Assistive Technologies: From mind to market

The CAT Entrepreneurs' Bootcamp, offered in partnership with Easter Seals Crossroads, provides insight on the key issues of bringing an assistive technology through the commercialization process.

The science of healthcare delivery

That's what healthcare engineering is. Engineers look at problems or systems and design new or improved ways of making those systems work — like finding better ways to make a car more fuel efficient, for example. In healthcare engineering, the system is the healthcare system and includes all facets, from medication safety to patient and family engagement. At the Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Engineering, our faculty draw on engineering, communications, management, and more, but all with the end result of finding ways to improve the healthcare system.
