Recently, two companies that have already benefited from the Innova programme are Dublin based tele-health software firm Valentia Technologies and medical devices company Intelesens in Belfast. Together they have developed an innovative heart monitoring device that is worn by a patient in the home to monitor vital life signs in real-time and transmit this information directly to the hospital, GP, care-worker or member of the family.
Commenting on the project David Burrows, Commercial
Manager with Valentia Technologies said: “Valentia are delighted with this
valuable opportunity to critically evaluate our Vivasta health management
platform on a collaborative basis, made possible through the InterTradeIreland,
Innova programme.
This project support will help us to translate our ongoing
development work to real commercial opportunities. I would strongly recommend
other companies to apply for this support and enjoy the future rewards and
benefits as we foresee for our company through our participation in this
innovative project.”
The device provides an alternative to regular hospital visits and enables patients to benefit from the same innovative care at home that they would receive in hospital while allowing them to maintain their independence. The companies are currently working with Tallaght Hospital Dublin as part of a clinical trial with the hospital expressing interest in the product as a significant improvement on their current system.
Innova, our unique cross-border programme offers companies an opportunity to accelerate new
product,process or service developments through partnering with a company in the
other jurisdiction.
