Healthcare Innovation Hub in Kausala, Finland
Innovation Designed for Healthcare
The Halton Healthcare Innovation Hub is dedicated to developing and validating solutions for operating rooms, patient rooms, isolation environments, and laboratories.
Working closely with healthcare professionals, consultants, and end users, we transform real-world challenges into solutions that improve safety, performance, and operational efficiency. Our Innovation Hub provides a collaborative environment where ideas can be tested, verified, and refined before implementation in critical healthcare facilities.
Highlights
- Operating room ventilation development Isolation and patient room solutions
- Laboratory safety innovation
- Customer collaboration and project validation
- Real-world healthcare testing environments
Testing & Validation
Tested in Real Operating Room Conditions
Performance in healthcare environments should never be assumed, it should be verified. At the Halton Healthcare Innovation Hub, solutions are tested in realistic operating room environments through simulated procedures and validation exercises. These tests help verify airflow behaviour, contamination control, and ventilation performance under real operating conditions.
Proven Through Testing
- 200+ simulated operations completed
- Operating room ventilation validation
- Clothing system performance testing
- Particle contamination analysis Air cleanliness verification
Working together with healthcare professionals, we evaluate how systems perform during both routine and demanding surgical procedures, helping ensure reliable performance where it matters most.
Take a Look Inside
Every test tells a story. See how realistic operating room simulations help us better understand airflow, clinical workflows, and the environments where patient safety matters most.
Beyond Ventilation Performance
Operating room cleanliness is influenced by both ventilation and the people working within the space. Through simulated operations, Halton evaluates how surgical clothing systems, personnel activity, and airflow work together to affect airborne contamination levels. These insights help hospitals optimize operating room environments and select solutions that support the highest standards of patient safety.
Laboratory Innovation
Safer and More Efficient Laboratory Environments
Healthcare innovation extends beyond operating rooms. The Halton Healthcare Innovation Hub also supports the development of laboratory solutions designed to improve safety, reduce exposure risks, and increase energy efficiency. Our research focuses on ventilation performance, fume cupboard safety, and control technologies that help create safer working environments while reducing operational costs.
Areas of Innovation
- Fume cupboard safety
- Fast-response ventilation systems
- Exposure risk reduction
- Energy-efficient laboratory operation
- Performance verification and testing
By combining safety and sustainability, we help laboratories meet today’s requirements while preparing for future challenges.
New Innovation
Body-Box Chamber Testing for Cleanrooms
Halton’s Body-Box Chamber enables direct measurement of particle and microbial emissions generated by people wearing cleanroom garments under realistic movement conditions. By evaluating the combined performance of the person, clothing system, and environment, Body-Box testing helps validate contamination control strategies, benchmark clothing systems, and support cleanroom performance throughout the lifecycle.
