Sira Biomedical's Services Complement The NHS Plan
Sira, the global supplier of instrumentation and measurement solutions, is helping the NHS to deliver quality health-care to patients by enabling early diagnosis of serious illnesses.
Sira's expert service is based on the knowledge and experience gained from a network of Faraday Partnerships in the sensors, measurement and data analysis arenas.
Sira's "Roadmapping" team provides a needs analysis session culminating in a technology roadmap that is tailored to an individual company's business and technology requirements.
The roadmap is a tool that enables the company to plot its route to a successful future, often by exploiting technology already available in the company.
The roadmap identifies the direction for business success, enabling the company to make informed decisions on technology development and investment.
The team also offers advice and aids the client in establishing a collaborative technology planning process.
The service is of particular benefit to SMEs as Dr Andrew Crookell, Managing Director of Sira Innovation Ltd explains: "Some firms view technology roadmapping only as a tool to be applied in larger companies or whole sectors, when in fact it is enormously valuable within individual companies of all sizes.
Sira is actively encouraging this sector by offering consultancy sessions concluding with an individual action plan." Faraday Partnerships are managed collaborative programmes in product and process innovation.
By bringing together researchers and businesses through the involvement of intermediate organisations and "technology translators" (business-literate scientists and engineers) they use private capital and the various public support schemes more coherently to bring new products and processes to the market faster.
Sira is committed to providing expertise in the development, commercialisation and support of instrumentation and measurement solutions.
