Siloton has secured £8.4 million in Innovate UK funding to accelerate clinical trials for its GiraffeOCT handheld retinal imaging system, which integrates advanced quantum optical coherence tomography technology. The project aims to deploy both in-clinic and at-home versions of the device to address NHS waiting lists by leveraging a specialized BlueJay chip originally designed for astronaut health monitoring. This initiative represents a significant step toward integrating quantum-enabled diagnostics directly into routine healthcare workflows outside traditional hospital settings.
