Kia ora from the HealthTech Activator team,

Welcome to the June edition of the HealthTech Activator (HTA) Monthly Wrap. This month, we are delighted to highlight a range of achievements and milestones within our community, especially as we celebrate Health Tech Week this week in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. As part of Callaghan Innovation, we are proud to collaborate with MTANZ and CMDT for this exciting event.

In recent New Zealand health tech news, researchers have discovered that VR (Virtual Reality) headsets can help women manage pain during labor, offering a novel pain relief method. Additionally, X-rays and CT scans will soon be free with a GP referral, and the long-awaited new building at North Shore Hospital is set to open, enhancing healthcare services and facilities for the community.
