Healthcare Business Connect Lancashire (HBCL), in which the Innovation Agency is a partner, recently ran their third SME showcase event with local members of the U3A in Ulverston.
HBCL helps Lancashire businesses working in the health and life sciences sector with products or services of interest to the NHS to make the right connections.
This was the first visit by the project to members at Coronation Hall in Ulverston following previous events held at their Ormskirk headquarters.
Seven businesses, supported by the Innovation Agency and Lancaster University with European funding, attended the event to showcase their innovations. One hundred U3A members had the opportunity to see what the NHS is doing with European funding to support products and solutions which benefit health and care systems in the region.
Steve Adams, the Innovation Agency's Lancashire commercial programme manager, said: "Today's event was a great opportunity to showcase the range of innovations in health and care solutions in Lancashire, with feedback from members of the U3A providing an invaluable perspective. Many of these innovative solutions will find real-world applications in health and care systems not just in Lancashire but across the country."
The businesses showcased at the event were:
- PelliTec – blister plasters for diabetics;
- Cryo Express – cryotherapy treatment;
- NGPod – nasogastric positioning tool;
- Intouch with Health – system used for speeding up a patient’s hospital journey using technology;
- Rinicare – remote monitoring technology;
- Alertacall – a fully staffed phone system with a built-in alternative to a pendant alarm for the elderly or vulnerable;
- AI Rehab Ltd – knee injury rehab tool.
