Sencilia has won the Hospital Challenge 2024 at the Pediatric Innovation Day organized by i4KIDS in Riga, Latvia. The competition invited startups from all over Europe that address key challenges in pediatric care. From over 30 applications, Sencilia was selected to pitch as one of the sixth finalists. The Northern startup was awarded €5000 to be used towards implementing a pilot project within one or more of the Children’s Hospitals in the i4KIDS-Europe network, along with a voucher for consultancy services of the Inveniam group.

Sencilia: “This award highlights the urgency of the clinical need of IV infusion monitoring in neonatal and pediatric care, as also pointed out by the expert jury comprising investors, clinicians, and healthcare experts. The vulnerable nature of these patients necessitates the strictest standards of safety and accuracy in drug administration, to avoid preventable medication errors. The Pediatric Innovation Day also underscored a broader theme in pediatric care, namely that medical technology developed for adults is not always applicable to pediatric patients. In other words, children are not “mini-adults” and need products tailored for their own unique medical needs, rather than extrapolated from their adult counterparts.”

The award marks yet another milestone in the impressive journey of the startup so far. With its innovative flow sensor technology, Sencilia is set to enhance IV infusion therapy for our most vulnerable patients. Find out more about Sencilia on their site.
