The winners of the 2024 MediWales Innovation Awards were recently announced at the MediWales annual awards ceremony held at the Mercure Holland House Hotel in Cardiff.
GX Group sponsored the ‘Partnership with the NHS' award. Which recognises a partnership or collaboration with the NHS that has improved business performance and benefited patient care. It was won by IQ Endoscopes, a company specialising in the development of single-use, sustainable endoscopic technology for rapid gastrointestinal disease diagnosis.
USING ON-DEMAND TECHNOLOGY TO INCREASE DIAGNOSTIC CAPACITY
IQ Endoscopes partners with Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, as part of the Cardiff Capital Region Challenge Fund. The collaboration has identified that IQE’s on-demand technology could significantly increase diagnostic capacity by allowing procedures outside traditional endoscopy rooms and enabling the creation of Rapid Diagnostic Clinics. This could potentially reduce treatment waiting times by 6-12 months as well as lowering costs and minimising GP visits.
Held in collaboration with the Welsh Government and Health and Care Research Wales. This important event celebrates the innovative and collaborative successes of the health and life science community in Wales. GX would like to congratulate IQ Endoscopes, and all of the winners, on their fantastic achievements.
