€100,000 in funding through Enterprise Ireland’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) programme is to be awarded to five companies following a competitive call. The SBIR funding will enable the SMEs to develop new innovations and technologies to address health complications that arise as a result of diabetes.
The awards follow a competitive Challenge arising from the first SBIR collaboration between Enterprise Ireland and the Health Service Executive (HSE) in December 2018, with the joint goal of delivering improved patient care through intelligent use of technology. The Challenge aims to specifically target two areas: reducing the risk of women developing Type 2 diabetes following gestational diabetes; and screening for diabetic foot disease in all patients with diabetes.
