The data is transmitted from the HealthVest, using wireless technology to devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, computers or to a hospital or clinician's equipment. The HealthVest also retains the option of data being stored on the wearer for later analysis or for on-body status monitoring.

The Grant for Research and Development (GRAND) scheme is a Department for Innovation Universities & Skills (DIUS) business support solution, run in the Northwest by the NWDA. The GRAND scheme provides grants to help individuals and small to medium sized businesses research and develop technologically innovative products and processes. The Agency's GRAND team assess and fully appraise the elements of the scheme, and continue to monitor the project as it progresses.

Mark Hughes, Executive Director for Enterprise and Skills at the NWDA, said: “A project of this nature is likely to generate much wider economic benefits for the company but also for the economy of the Northwest. As the project progresses it is likely to enable the company and the workforce to grow and develop, putting it at the forefront of a thriving technology sector in the Northwest.”
