Our prototyping capability – RMIT-Cisco Sandbox
The RMIT–Cisco Sandbox exemplifies a forward-thinking approach to healthcare innovation, providing a dynamic environment where technology and human-centered design converge to shape the future of healthcare.
Powered by Cisco technology and supported by leading health partners, the Sandbox is a digitally rich, modular prototyping hub designed to transform patient–doctor interactions, streamline healthcare workflows, and reimagine care delivery models. It enables a seamless transition from conceptual ideas to practical, scalable implementations through:
Advanced Prototyping Environment:
A flexible, modular setup that simulates real-world care settings, including bedrooms, telehealth-equipped computer stations, and communal lounges. This environment allows innovators to trial and demonstrate cutting-edge technologies in realistic scenarios.
Focus on Health Technology Innovation:
From AI-driven diagnostics to connected care platforms, the Sandbox accelerates the development of next-generation health technologies that improve patient outcomes and optimize workflows across the continuum of care.
Integration of Autonomous Robotics:
Incorporating autonomous robotics, such as Boston Dynamics’ Spot, the Sandbox provides a platform to explore futuristic visions for healthcare, enabling the trial, testing, and translation of advanced robotic solutions into practice.
Collaborative Research and Development:
As part of the National Industry Innovation Network (NIIN) Health Alliance, the Sandbox fosters collaborations among leading universities and industry partners to address pressing healthcare challenges through technology-driven innovation.
