Summary:
A well-established and leading Maltese company, in collaboration with academic researchers, has launched a technology solution that can screen children in all local schools for potential coeliac disease. They have developed ICT tools for the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases in the Mediterranean and are now seeking potential exploitation partners for future projects. They are interested to conclude licence or subcontracting agreements.
Description:
This Maltese company has created a project with a technology solution that combines artificial intelligence with an innovative user interface and an app to help in the diagnosis and treatment pathways of auto-immune diseases like coeliac disease. They have screened over 18,000 children in Malta and used their solution with the largest hospital on the island with resounding success. The project is aimed at improving the diagnostic process of coeliac conditions in children by validating the efficacy of non-invasive testing mechanisms.They are now looking for partnership opportunities in other countries for future projects (both research and commercial) with partners that want to adapt their solution. They would like to conclude license or subcontracting agreements with interested parties.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
They are looking for cooperation partners in the areas of decision support systems related to the diagnostics of different autoimmune diseases similar to the coeliac disease. They are able to offer a ready made system when it comes to coeliac which might have to be adapted to local languages. They are also willing to enter into projects (commercial or research) jointly with different types of entities including but not limited to medical technology companies, hospitals, gluten free product manufacturers, universities and research centres. Partner would be required to give the local knowledge in order to adapt their solutions to their needs, and also get engagement of the local stakeholders in order to adopt it. Sales and marketing knowledge in the medical sector are a must.
