Turning knowledge into revenue: the Government provides nearly HUF 6 billion to bring scientific results to market
Hungarian universities and research institutes accumulate a wealth of knowledge, experience, and original ideas, yet only a small portion is transformed into marketable, high value-added products or services that benefit their inventors, the universities, the Hungarian economy, and ultimately the Hungarian people. With the Fast Track programme, the Hungarian government aims to give a boost to scientists and researchers to further develop their innovative results and bring them to market.
A new milestone in personalised online medicine
The free-to-use telemedicine system developed by 77 Elektronika Kft. in Hungary is revolutionizing online remote medical services. The project, funded by the National Research, Development and Innovation Fund, aimed to personalise the treatment of patients with or at the early stages of diabetes. That’s why the Dcont® eNAPLÓ platform was created, where people with a Dcont® blood glucose meter can upload their measured data quickly and easily. These are supported by a number of graphs and statistics to help the patient’s orientation and the work of the medical specialist examining the data.
