"'D4D' is a significant partner, providing a clear understanding of the NHS and deep technical expertise that has been invaluable in testing and improving the Elaros system to a point where we confidently expect to launch into the NHS market later this year"
"Working with D4D was a very positive experience for us and was fundamental in evolving Mummy and Baby Bear from its development stages to bringing the product to Market. D4D supported us throughout this process and were on hand with feedback and advice at every step."

Their vast network has opened up a number of opportunities and enabled us to improve our chances of product adoption and success, without which we probably would still be fumbling in the dark."

The NIHR Devices for Dignity HTC has been an important supporter during our journey, particularly with the contributions of Elizabeth Lindley and a number of home haemodialysis patients from Leeds Teaching Hospital who provided invaluable assistance with usability assessments throughout development of the SC+."
