With the support of StartUp Europe Accelerator, eKuore received 50.000 € in grant from the EC for the phase-1 of the SME Instrument. The H2020 Topic presented was “Clinical research for the validation of biomarkers and/or diagnostic medical device”.
The project aims to commercialise the eKuore pro device; an innovative medical device combined with ICT solutions offering next-generation e-health and m-health service. The wireless electronic phonendoscope helps identify and monitor cardiovascular illnesses, communicating with mobile devices via Bluetooth for listening, recording, analysing data, providing reports, etc. Currently, eKuore chooses to Phase-2 of this European program with the advice of the StartUp Accelerator, which chooses to receive 2 million euros.
