Cooperation partners may utilize the test platform in the Health Tech Lab for user-oriented design and testing. The cooperation partners of the research lab include companies, hospital districts, municipalities, health care organisations, third sector actors, higher education institutions and research and development units.

The research group in Health Technology is active in cooperating with the operators of Health Campus Turku and Tech Campus Turku in issues related to health technology. We also collaborate with the Department of Computing at the University of Turku and the Hospital District of Southwest Finland. As a result of Health Campus cooperation, we have e.g. created a collaboration platform for companies, through which the needs of companies are brought to the services of organizations
