Bill & Melinda Gates foundation funding for screening, diagnosis and monitoring of infant meningitis

We are proud to announce that together with our long time partner, the Barcelona Institute of Global Health (ISGlobal), we are investigating how to improve meningitis suspicion, screening, and diagnostic accuracy in infants younger than 24 months and with permeable fontanel in hospitals and peripheral health centers in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) through a new grant funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

This new funding opportunity will allow to continue investigating our device Neosonics, a non-invasive screening and monitoring for infant meningitis as well as developing our AI-based predictive software for LMIC countries. All in all, with the aim of validating our device and software for hospital use and peripheral clinical centers.
