MediSieve have recently been announced winners of the CMS Healthcare Startup of the Year Award 2017 in the Beanstalks competition. This news was announced at the GIANT Health Event, held at the Old Truman Brewery in London from 8-10 November. The prestigious award, now in its second year, was given to the startup medical company for their advances in magnetic blood filtration. The Beanstalk Awards are a competition for startup companies with ideas, prototypes or advancements in the medical sector. The awards aim to celebrate, encourage and reward innovation within the medical sector, where entrepreneurs are making great strides towards actionable advances in technology in order to tackle some of our biggest diseases and conditions we are facing in today's world.

Cupris was founded by Jules Hamann , a Consultant ENT Surgeon, and Paul Thomas , an award-winning designer and entrepreneur, to develop medical devices that exploit smartphone technology to improve healthcare communication. Jules felt that a significant proportion of the patients he saw in clinic could be cared for without coming to see him in person. We believe that smartphone technology can enable examinations to take place closer to the patient's home and away from over-crowded hospitals.
