Catalyst Alumni Dr Mike Trenell Set for Google Boost
Daiser set for ‘lift-off’ with Google accelerator
A former customer of the Catalyst, in Newcastle Helix health tech firm is set for global growth after securing a place on an exclusive accelerator programme backed by Google.
Daiser, which operates in both the UK and US, has been selected for the Google for Startups Growth Academy: AI for Health, with bosses saying it will be a “launchpad” as the company, which is only a year old, “gears up for growth and investment”.
The three-month programme supports high-potential startups using artificial intelligence to improve healthcare.
Co-founded by UK professor Mike Trenell and US tech expert Adam Wootton, Daiser is one of just three UK companies chosen from across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Professor Mike Trenell said: “This isn’t just a milestone for us – it’s a moment of lift-off.
“Being chosen by Google is recognition of the transformational potential we see in Daiser.
“This isn’t just an opportunity.
“For Daiser, it’s a launchpad to help redefine what healthcare can be in the age of AI.”
Daiser’s modular, people-first AI platform, which simplifies the creation of digital health services, offering adaptable solutions that cater to various conditions, is already in use by partners including the South Yorkshire Digital Health Hub and the EPSRC EdgeAI Hub.
Noam Feinstein, senior startup partner manager and campus lead at Google for startups, added: “We’re excited to welcome Daiser to the Growth Academy: AI for Health.
“Their people-centric approach to AI in healthcare stood out in our rigorous selection process.
“Google is proud to support their mission and connect them with other visionary companies who are redefining the future of health.”
The programme begins in Poland this May.
