CliniShift beat off completion from 24 other disruptive pitching startups, including runner-up Scott Martin, founder of fellow HealthTech startup AiPatient, which seeks to improve the quality, accessibility, and affordability of medical training worldwide, through artificial intelligence. aiPatient had just completed AccelerateME, the pre-seed accelerator for students and graduates from University of Manchester.
Aimee Madden, the founder and CEO of Clinishift, said: “I feel very proud and humble to have won amongst such stiff competition. I’d like to thank everyone sincerely for giving Clinishift this opportunity and I hope we really make a difference with our technology for health providers and hospitals.”
Clinishift and aiPatient were joined in the final round of 6 pitches by startups Bookaxe, Importwise, Travaplan, and StoryTracks.
Alastair Cameron, co-founder of Startacus and host of upSTART said:
"Every year I am amazed at the talent and innovation that Startacus helps to bring to Digital DNA, Belfast - be they local NI and Irish startups, or startups from the UK or further afield. This year is no different. Aimee and the CliniShift team are a shining example to other startups, of what can be achieved in a short space of time. Not only was Aimee's pitch completely on point, she clearly demonstrated the size of the market and why Clinishift is primed to grow and scale."
