The Bristol start-up secured £150k from British Design Fund within a £500k raise to accelerate its AI-driven aquatic rehabilitation platform.
"Pain and joint conditions, collectively known as musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, affect 20m people in the UK and 1.7bn people globally. Many of these disorders can be effectively treated and managed through water-based therapeutic interventions. However, until now, we have been unable to measure movement in water to assess the power, speed or range of movement with any accuracy. We’re delighted to say Good Boost has cracked that engineering challenge. On the sports side, injuries account for 60% of player absences, with an average of 2.5 injuries per player, per season. Our technology can help ensure that athletes’ recovery, rehab and conditioning is tailored to individual needs, providing analysis and feedback as part of an athlete’s aquatic recovery programme."
The seed round was backed by British Design Fund to support the development of novel wound care devices.
"Around the world, wounds are still being treated largely the same way as they were 150 years ago, with dressings that are often not fit for purpose, leading to a slow, painful treatment process and poor outcomes for patients."
British Design Fund backed the Imperial College London spinout to support technology deployment and market growth.
"Palm trees provide a source of income for millions of farmers globally, significantly contributing to rural development by creating employment opportunities and improving infrastructure in remote areas. With our technology, we aim to help farmers generate the most sustainable yield from their plantations. This funding from British Design Fund will support deployment of our technology and growth in key markets."
The funding round was backed by the British Design Fund, angel investors, and a US fund to support commercial rollout.
"Cryogenx’s technology solves a growing global need for a rapid, emergency response for heat illness. What is really impressive about the device is how well designed and thought through it is, being easily transported and operated by a single person, with no pre-preparation or specialist storage required. We look forward to working with Matt and the Cryogenx team as they bring this vital technology to market."
The London startup has raised £150k from the British Design Fund to support the commercial launch of its PluumoPlus thermal packaging.
"The investment from the British Design Fund is going to be instrumental in our ability to manufacture our first units of PluumoPlus and get them into the hands of our existing waiting list, which includes some of the largest pharmaceutical and life science logistics companies in the world. The next 12 months will see us focused on optimising production and further product development, based on client demand"
