Dr Tom Oakley, CEO of Feedback, commented:

“This has been a transformational year as we transitioned the Company away from older products and towards the emerging mobile medical market which has significant potential for growth. We are now creating a very different company through our flagship product, Bleepa, our proprietary medical imaging communications platform.

“Our fast delivery on development, launch and roll-out of Bleepa has exceeded our expectations this year. We have delivered on the key milestones for Bleepa in a remarkably quick timeframe - from regulatory approval (CE Mark), launch and start of commercialisation. Covid-19 may have brought many challenges to the NHS healthcare and clinical staff, however, through our work with the Pennine Acute Hospitals Trust, the pandemic has catapulted Bleepa to the mainstream NHS and NHSx, as it has demonstrated how remote working capabilities can transform care delivery.

“We have been fortunate to have the support of our shareholders through two fundraisings, one during the financial year and one in post period, which will help us to drive Bleepa forward. Our aim for the new year is to scale the product, at pace, in order to acquire as large a userbase as possible. Longer term, our vision is that Bleepa will become the platform that all frontline clinicians use to access information about their patients and confer with their peers to reach collective, informed treatment decisions.”
