Vital Signs Solutions announce grant extension with Innovate UK

Vital Signs Solutions Partners with UK Governmental Bodies for Advanced Covid-19 Testing

Vital Signs Solutions is thrilled to announce that their existing grant with Innovate UK has been extended by 4 months to work with the UK Government’s Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and NHS Digital, to develop a production ready digital reader for Covid-19 lateral flow tests.

Harnessing the Power of PocDoc Technology

Vital Signs Solutions is set to capitalize on the capabilities of PocDoc, its app-based, cloud-first reader technology platform. By integrating image analysis algorithms, they plan to create an application tailored to aid in the digital self-reporting of lateral flow test outcomes. PocDoc's versatility stands out, allowing users across devices like smartphones and tablets to conduct tests for a multitude of major diseases and get swift, comprehensive health assessments.

It's worth noting that Vital Signs Solutions isn't solely focused on Covid-19. They've pioneered a range of lateral flow tests, with an initial focus on Cardiovascular Disease. Moreover, a recent collaboration with PATH aims to amplify Polio testing in developing countries, emphasizing their global health aspirations.

A Word from the Leadership

Steve Roest, the dynamic CEO of Vital Signs Solutions and PocDoc, expresses his excitement about the collaboration, stating, “We are thrilled to be working with Innovate UK, the Department of Health and Social Care, and NHS Digital in our ongoing battle against Covid-19. PocDoc’s innovative technology has the potential to revolutionize rapid testing, showcasing its immense benefits for healthcare systems, be it for Covid-19, Polio, or Cardiovascular Disease.”
