Biomedical Translation Bridge program Round 2

News alert for all those interested in funding for your active MedTech product development. This program offers up to $1 million in matched funding. The application period is only open for three weeks, i.e. closing around 8 March.

In round one there were some interesting projects funding that look like they may have been in the active MedTech space including:

• Clinical imaging of the cell surface receptor CXCR4 in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients.

• Eye and brain testing for better management of ophthalmic and neurological diseases.

• An innovative device providing adaptive deep brain stimulation for people with Parkinson’s disease.

• A non-invasive acoustic belt that uses artificial intelligence to decode gut noises to accurately diagnose and monitor common gut disorders (pictured below)
