Vitacore Research Collaborative

Funding

Grants, IP, and pathways to translation.

Vitacore pursues grant funding from UK and international funders whose strategic priorities match the research agenda. Translation pathways include IP licensing, expert consulting, and spinout formation where the science supports it.

Grant targets

NIHR

i4i Product Development · 2026/27 strategic funding · Health Technology Assessment

Mapped to topics RC-01, RC-03, RC-05, RC-08, RC-12 and hard problems HP-02, HP-03. NIHR's analogue-to-digital shift and decentralised monitoring priorities align directly with the Vitacore programme.

UKRI / EPSRC

Theoretical Computer Science · Trustworthy Autonomous Systems · Cross-disciplinary calls

Mapped to HP-01, HP-04 and topics RC-04, RC-10. Vitacore's formal-methods identity matches EPSRC's safety-of-AI programme. Cross-disciplinary calls reward boundary-crossing work.

Innovate UK

Biomedical Catalyst · Sustainable Infrastructure

Mapped to RC-05, RC-06, RC-10, RC-12. Innovate UK funds translational work — particularly where IP can be commercialised through licensing or spinout.

MRC

Neurological Disorders · Computational medicine

Mapped to RC-07, RC-12 and HP-05. MRC's neurological programme supports tremor characterisation, neuromodulation, and digital twin clinical work.

Wellcome Trust

Digital health · Computational medicine

Mapped to HP-05 and RC-11. The Discretionary Award and Computational Medicine programme align with causal twin work.

DASA

Defence and Security Accelerator

Mapped to HP-02 (military TBI), RC-08 (resistant-cohort monitoring). Field-condition clinical sensing is an active DASA call area.

Commercialisation pathways

IP licensing

Formal specification methodologies licensable to medtech companies seeking MHRA compliance under the 2026 AI device framework. Provisional patents on signal-fusion algorithms (RC-05), sepsis trajectory automata (RC-03), RF sensing architecture (RC-08), and neuromodulation closed-loop specifications (RC-12).

Spinout

Formally verified clinical early-warning platform as a software medical device under the MHRA 2026 framework. SEIS/EIS eligible structure once formal registration completes.

Expert consulting

Independent technical assessment via expert networks — telecommunications-to-clinical signal processing, medical device regulatory landscape, wearable sensor assessment for investors.

Dataset licensing

Phase 3 original datasets — wearable physiological, acoustic-emission, RF sensing, formal verification traces — licensed for academic research at no cost and to commercial users at fair-market rates.
