Press Release: For Immediate Release
London, November, 25th, 2015 – TickerFit, a Dublin based healthcare company, has been selected for the first digital preventative healthcare accelerator programme in the United Kingdom. Through a very competitive process, TickerFit is one of four teams selected to take part in the 10-month accelerator programme, looking to address the challenges outlined in the NHS Five Year Forward View. The programme is backed by Wayra UK Open Future and Merck Sharpe & Dohme Ltd (MSD) and begins January 2016.
Founders, Avril Copeland and Greg Balmer are delighted to be selected for the programme. “There has never been a more exciting time to be in healthcare” explained chartered physiotherapist and founder, Copeland. TickerFit's technology puts the patient at the centre of their care and enables health care professionals to deliver personalised interventions direct to patient’s smartphones. So whether you have just undergone treatment for a cardiac problem or are currently recovering from surgery for cancer, you can now leave the hospital with a recovery plan tailored to your needs.
This is an exciting time for TickerFit as it provides the vehicle and support network they need to help bring their vision of the future of healthcare to the market. Most importantly having the backing of Wayra and MSD will be pivotal to realising TickerFit's passion of producing technology that puts patients in control of their healthcare.
