A remote emergency care technology platform has secured £248,000 in government funding to boost expansion plans and help accelerate adoption of the solution in new markets.
Mime Technologies, a spin-out from the University of Aberdeen, received the investment as it seeks to continue to deliver its technology in a ‘heavily impacted’ aviation industry and cultivate new opportunities in the maritime industry.
The cloud-based platform works by helping non-medical staff – for example cabin crew on commercial airlines – respond to emergency medical situations such as heart attack or stroke by providing trained clinicians on the ground with detailed on-scene data.
The funding will also drive new maritime med-tech solutions in the maritime sector, which has similar challenges in its ability to deliver skilled medical care in remote locations, and create several skilled jobs in Scotland.
The company, which received its first investment from Scottish angel syndicate Equity Gap, launched its aviation product earlier this year to support cabin crew first response at 40,000 feet on commercial aircraft or private jets.
