Defence innovation developments
Economic and political world events, war hotspots and natural or societal disasters make nations face challenges that could only be solved with global crisis management; however, personal reaction capabilities is still an essential factor, affecting national self-government. Crises can form in different way, but their solutions can be based on well-defined schemes.
The rapid development of medicine and its interdisciplinary fields and the implementation of multidisciplinary innovative technologies has fundamentally changed daily patient care both in peace and aggravated situations. Tracking changes, processing results and drawing the professionally useful necessary conclusions is still a challenge that has to be solved as soon as possible.
Developing a complex way of thinking has become important these days; it needs to start from a defence healthcare point of view and bridge the distance between fields of science using info-communication technologies and the latest engineering developments. Aside from the known path of the dynamic development of healthcare, the development of certain parts of a national healthcare complex reaction capability and designing modular skills and practical simulations of designs are also tasks of our defence innovation workgroup. The appropriately designed operational healthcare reactions is fundamentally a national economic and national defence task; by preparing, the healthcare, economic and societal effects of a crisis can be mitigated.
The UP Defence Innovation Workgroup is aiming to develop all-encompassing training courses and form multidisciplinary workgroups in education, research and innovation cooperation with faculty, university and market entities, armed forces, and law enforcement. It will provide an opportunity for implementing new technologies, testing new methods, publishing research results in international journals, manufacturing functional prototypes based on defence-healthcare innovation ideas and in some cases MVP-s (minimal viable product), preparation for mass manufacture, and manufacturing with third party partners.
The research group is organising trainings in multiple forums of gradual and post-gradual education, aiming to improve national defence capabilities. It ensures continuous training of future workers with a research and education portfolio (URS and PhD students) and contributes to the publication activity and defence-healthcare success of the Faculty, Clinical Centre and other involved units.
