The Future of Medical Communications

“Feedback has continued to make significant advancements in its transition into the mobile medical communications market – continuing to invest in further augmenting and expanding Bleepa’s offering.

“As the restrictions imposed by the global pandemic subside, we are confident in our ability to build on the strong foundations we have now laid, and to deliver the next key milestones for the Company. Feedback is continuing commercial discussions, and while the pandemic slowed progression of Bleepa within the NHS, we are now seeing improvement in the pace of these talks, as well as a growing interest outside of the NHS and internationally.

“With Bleepa’s unique flexibility, we have been able to make great strides in strengthening its proposition; through achieving the CE mark, adding new 3D imaging technology and gaining industry-standard cyber security certifications, the product now has a broadened and mature offering. Alongside its cloud-based installation scalability, Bleepa is well placed to build a strong presence in numerous markets internationally. Importantly, we have an exciting pipeline of opportunities which has grown significantly on the back of the progress made during the period. Commercialisation is clearly the key priority and we believe that we will make strong headway in this area in the coming months.

“Bleepa has the potential to fundamentally change the way in which clinicians communicate, not only making the lives of those who care for us easier day-to-day, but enabling a route to inclusive interaction within, between and spanning an entire medical provider’s network to make patient information more easily accessible. We believe that Bleepa is the future of medical communications.” Dr Tom Oakley, CEO of Feedback.
