H&D Wireless Receives Order for Revolutionary EU Project for Osteoarthritis Treatment-order Value SEK 5.5 m
STOCKHOLM, Jan. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
Nasdaq First North - listed H&D Wireless AB has been selected as an IoT partner in a European research consortium that aims to greatly reduce the disease of osteoarthritis. H&D Wireless will contribute with the Internet of things (IoT) solution based on the company's proprietary Griffin ® IoT Cloud platform. The agreement is worth SEK 5.5 million for H&D Wireless, half of which is paid at the start of the project in Q1 2019. The project is fully financed by the EU.
Osteoarthritis is a population disease that affects approximately one in four Swedes over 45 years of age and in average 10% of the population. In total, the EU estimates that 40 million are affected, which is estimated to double within 10 years as a result of ageing populations and increased obesity. The market for osteoarthritis is expected to increase from 1.4 billion EUR 2016 to 3.1 billion EUR by GlobalData. The consortium that has chosen the H&D Wireless as partner has eight participating players under the leadership of one of Europe's most reputable universities in the field. In addition to customizing the Griffin-IoT platform for this application, H&D Wireless delivers radio communication for sensor reading and dosage, mobile app for both doctor and patient and a secure cloud platform for testing and prototyping. The project will be conducted within business unit LABS and is funded at 100%
