Silvia Health secures backing from the Business Growth Hub Innovation Team

Grant funding from Greater Manchester Combined Authority's innovation support programme

Silvia Health is proud to announce that we have secured grant funding from the Business Growth Hub Innovation Team, part of Greater Manchester Combined Authority's innovation support programme for ambitious, high-growth businesses in the region.

Silvia Health is a digital health platform for menopause care, built for NHS primary care and private clinics. Silvia structures patient-reported information ahead of consultations, applying practice-configured triage rules so that clinicians walk into every appointment with the full picture already in front of them, before the consultation and between every review that follows.

What this support has meant

“As the founder of Silvia Health, building a regulated digital health platform in one of the most complex areas of healthcare, the support from the Business Growth Hub Innovation Team has been invaluable. From our first conversations, the team took the time to understand not just the technology we were building, but the commercial opportunity and the challenges of bringing innovation safely into healthcare. Their guidance has helped us strengthen our proposition, refine our growth strategy and prepare for the next stage of our journey with far greater confidence. A special thank you goes to Dr Taktak, whose expertise, encouragement and constructive challenge have made a genuine difference throughout the process. His ability to combine commercial insight with a deep understanding of health innovation has helped us think more strategically about both our product and our route to market. We're incredibly grateful that the programme has backed Silvia Health with this funding. While the funding will accelerate our next phase of development, the wider support has been equally valuable. The introductions, honest feedback and genuine commitment to helping innovative businesses succeed have made the Business Growth Hub Innovation Team feel like an extension of our own. I would wholeheartedly recommend the programme to any ambitious founder looking to grow an innovative business in Greater Manchester.”

This grant funding will help accelerate the next phase of Silvia Health's development, as we continue working towards registration as a Class I medical device with the MHRA, a voluntary step we're taking ahead of any requirement.

If you're building something ambitious in Greater Manchester, the Business Growth Hub Innovation Team is worth talking to.
