Plextek’s design expertise helps PneumaCare to receive double award win at coveted 2011 Medical Futures Innovation Awards

Plextek has collaborated with PneumaCare since its formation, contributing ideas, strategic consultancy and supporting the design of a working prototype to help prove the concept. Plextek has since worked on further technology development as PneumaCare commercialises the concept and looks at other potential applications. The collaboration has enabled PneumaCare to hit the key commercial milestones of Medical Regulatory approvals within the challenging schedule and budget requirements. Receiving the Medical Futures awards is a fantastic independent validation of the potential of PneumaCare’s business proposition.

PneumaScan is a revolutionary technology based on novel 3D imaging technology first developed by the University of Cambridge, UK. Clinical and commercial use of PneumaScan is about to start at Papworth and Addenbrooke’s Hospitals in Cambridge, Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford and Sheffield Children’s Hospital.
