Current treatment options are not good enough and come at a huge cost to the quality of that remaining time. Our co-founder Dr Richard Fu recognised this and was frustrated not only by the lack of treatments available for his brain tumour patients but also by major design flaws in newer electrotherapy approaches. Working together with Dr Chris Bullock, a biomedical engineer arising from Manchester's world-class materials research centres, they formed an elegant solution designed to optimise patient life-expectancy and quality of life. Together they formed QV Bioelectronics, and since then, their ground-breaking research has received over $425k in financial awards from several UK institutions, including Innovate UK and the National Institute for Health Research in the UK. The technology core patent has been filed, with full FTO. The team has grown to contain commercial expertise that encompasses individuals with a unicon exit in their CV's, as well as multiple startup experience between them. Additionally, alongside Dr Fu's expertise, the clinical advisory board contains some of Britain's top neurosurgeons who are helping to input into the feedback of the technology design. Our aim is to double patient life expectancy compared to standard treatment without impacting quality of life, so patients can focus on what matters. Join us at QV Bioelectronics, in pioneering a better option for terminal cancer patients.

Free to Feed

Pre Seed Round in 2022
An over-the-counter allergen test that identifies various food proteins in breast milk. The users are both breastfeeding mothers who suspect infant food allergy/intolerance as well as breastfeeding mothers who wish to deliberately introduce food allergens to their infant early and often as recommended by the AAP. These women understand and appreciate the benefits of nursing as the healthiest, natural form of infant nutrition. This will be the first product to allow mothers, pediatricians, and lactation consultants the ability to evaluate human milk for allergens in real time. These users will be supported with the Free to Feed app. Mothers will annotate which allergens are present in addition to the date and time of milk expression and nursing/feed. Parents can also record any symptoms which will allow correlative and comprehensive data to assist medical professionals in determining the culprit. This data will be compiled in a summary page which can be shared with medical professionals. The number of reported food intolerance symptoms has spiked, and our understanding of early immune development is subsequently evolving. Converse to previous recommendations to avoid early top food allergen introduction, recent studies have shown early and sustained introduction to the infant diet may influence the risk of allergic or autoimmune disease for those patients who do not already exhibit allergic symptoms before one year of age. A meta-analysis of 146 studies concluded that early introduction was associated with a moderately lower risk of developing egg or peanut allergy. This has shifted the AAP peanut and egg recommendations without providing mothers with the tools to effectively introduce.
