Era’s Lucknow Medical College and Hospital has institutionalized its Innovation Think Tank (ITT) Lab in partnership with Siemens Healthineers at their campus in Lucknow. The lab will be an innovation hub where participants including researchers, faculty members, and students can think outside the box to solve issues in healthcare with a focus on using technology for analysis of clinical data and enhancement of patient care. The ITT Lab at Lucknow is the first Innovation Think Tank Lab at a hospital in India, as part of Siemens Healthineers' global network of Innovation Think Tank Labs led by Professor Sultan Haider.
Innovation Think Tank (ITT) of Siemens Healthineers is a global infrastructure of co-creation labs and program established for prestigious universities and hospitals.

ITT enables the partner institution in the following:
"Era’s Lucknow Medical College & Hospital (ELMCH) has fostered numerous initiatives that have enhanced training of medical students and improved patient care. Through the use of information technology and accelerated research analysis, we have been solving real-world problems, most recent of which has been the enhanced management of COVID-19 patients at our hospital. Some of the ongoing innovative projects at ELMCH include mapping of pathways involved in complex diseases, development of educational video games and telemedicine softwares for pro-active patient management. The ITT Lab at ELMCH will certainly accelerate this trajectory of meaningful research and development. On the one hand, students and professionals will get guidance and resources for channeling their creativity, and on the other hand, patients’ well-being shall be enhanced through the acceleration of innovation. We have invited Prof. Haider to set up Innovation Think Tank at ELMCH and have also conferred him with Program Directorship of ITT @ ELMCH and an Honorary Professorship at Era University" -Mr. Mohsin Ali Khan, Chancellor, Era’s Lucknow Medical College & Hospital
The global ITT infrastructure of Siemens Healthineers includemultiple innovation labs and ITT programs across Germany, China, India, Turkey, the United States, United Arab Emirates, and United Kingdom, addressing projects from 56 ITT activity locations. The program success and recognition has led to the establishment of ITT locations at prestigious healthcare institutions on the invitation by their management.
"We are delighted to partner with ELMCH, Lucknow and confident that the Innovation Think Tank lab will assist the esteemed institution for their future research and innovation in the field of healthcare. This will be an enabler allowing us to bring people together from a variety of disciplines to share their unique perspectives, which will stimulate innovation and help great ideas become a reality" -Prof. Sultan Haider, Founder and Global Head, Innovation Think Tank, Siemens Healthineers
