Our platform is a tool that can complement and improve the patient experience across long-term clinical or care scenarios and can be part of a holistic digital health strategy. We are very much looking forward to working with, and learning from, an impressive cohort and expert programme sponsors.”

I think the response we got bears testimony to UP’s deep networks in the early stage tech ecosystem and Greater Manchester’s fast growing international reputation as a great place to grow early stage tech businesses. After 25 years in the business of innovation, I am still excited to work with the quality of entrepreneurs we have recruited to this cohort.”
Karen Fox, Strategic Partnerships Lead for Novartis, said: “At Novartis, we are committed to reimagining medicine through digital and data.
