CheckPoint Cardio continues growth in Europe with support of EIT Digital
Bulgarian scale-up Checkpoint Cardio has secured full joint development and implementation contract from a leading university hospital consortium.
Checkpoint Cardio joined the EIT Digital Accelerator in November 2017 and is supported by the EIT Digital's Access to Market teams.
Checkpoint Cardio's first deliverables in the EUR 475 000 deal were all accepted on 29 May. The company is now over the initial kickoff funding set by the contractor. This development and implementation budget will allow CheckPoint Cardio to enhance its key system through the measurement of additional health parameters. The contract will lead to a further development of the CheckpointCardio technology into wearables to be applied in many different hospital departments and use cases.
Boris Dimitrov, CEO and co-founder of Checkpoint Cardio said about EIT Digital Accelerator: 'We are grateful for EIT Digital Accelerator teams supporting us in the development of this deal and for the series of introductions already made this year. Without EIT Digital Accelerator and personal engagement of the access to market and access to finance teams, Checkpoint Cardio would never have been, where we are now.' Wolfgang Kniejski, EIT Digital Accelrator's Access-to-Market Team Leader added : 'For us it is an exciting and highly motivating experience to take such an innovative upscaling company to international markets'.
