Tomorrow’s Home was an immersive installation where the home of the future – 30 years from now – became reality. Drawing upon leading research from the UCL Institute of Healthcare Engineering it playfully imagined how our dwellings could be designed to help us live independently and well as we age, and support our changing planet.

Learn more about the UCL-Ventura CPAP device

A breathing aid that can help keep Covid-19 patients out of intensive care, adapted by our engineers at UCL and clinicians at UCLH working with Mercedes-AMG HPP, is now being used in over 130 NHS hospitals. The designs have been made freely available for international use and have now been downloaded by over 1900 teams in 105 countries - we are now supporting these teams to manufacture locally and the devices are saving lives in hospitals in over 25 countries.
