At TESODEV, we are thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our journey towards revolutionizing intensive care: our IoT-enabled device, T-Cuff, has successfully passed the EIC Plug-In stage, allowing us to move forward with the prestigious EIC Accelerator application. This accomplishment reflects our dedication to innovation, safety, and patient care, as well as our commitment to bringing advanced healthcare solutions to market.
What is the EIC Accelerator, and Why Does It Matter?
The European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator is one of Europe’s most competitive funding programs, supporting high-potential small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in scaling transformative innovations. The program is designed to back cutting-edge solutions that address global challenges and foster economic growth by providing substantial funding and access to a network of expert advisors. Passing the EIC Plug-In phase is a crucial step, confirming that our technology aligns with the EIC’s standards for innovation, market impact, and societal value.
T-Cuff: A New Standard in ICU Patient Safety
Our T-Cuff device represents a breakthrough in airway management, particularly for ICU patients. By combining IoT capabilities with integrated UV-C sterilization, T-Cuff is designed to maintain optimal endotracheal tube pressure while significantly reducing infection risks, including ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). With real-time remote monitoring, automatic adjustments, and data-driven insights, T-Cuff empowers healthcare providers to enhance patient safety and streamline their workflow.
Developed with affordability and accessibility in mind, T-Cuff provides cutting-edge technology at a competitive price point, making it accessible even to healthcare facilities in low-resource settings. This unique blend of innovation and cost-effectiveness positions T-Cuff as a strong contender in the global healthcare market—a key factor that strengthened our case during the EIC Plug-In evaluation.
Moving Forward with the EIC Accelerator Application
Having passed the Plug-In phase, TESODEV has now entered the EIC Accelerator application stage, where we will present a comprehensive proposal detailing T-Cuff’s potential to address critical healthcare challenges and its anticipated market impact. This application phase is highly competitive, requiring a thorough demonstration of the device’s technological advantages, market readiness, and scalability.
The EIC Accelerator offers substantial funding and resources that can significantly accelerate our development and commercialization plans for T-Cuff. Success in this phase would not only validate our vision but also provide the financial and strategic support necessary to bring T-Cuff to ICUs across Europe and beyond.
What’s Next for T-Cuff and TESODEV?
As we proceed with the EIC Accelerator application, we are focused on further refining T-Cuff’s capabilities, conducting rigorous testing, and engaging with healthcare professionals to ensure that our product meets the highest standards of quality and performance. We are also actively seeking partnerships with hospitals and healthcare institutions to pilot T-Cuff in real-world settings, gathering valuable insights to optimize its functionality and impact.
TESODEV’s mission has always been to advance patient care through innovative technology, and the journey with T-Cuff is a testament to that commitment. Passing the EIC Plug-In phase is a milestone worth celebrating, and we are excited to take the next steps towards bringing T-Cuff to the global market.
Stay tuned for updates on our EIC Accelerator journey and more news about how T-Cuff is shaping the future of intensive care.
