A company providing handheld devices which help people self-manage insomnia has received over £340,000 worth of funding to work with a children’s NHS trust to help children and young people.
Sheffield-based SleepCogni has a new Innovate UK grant funded project in collaboration with Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust to meet the growing challenge of insomnia in children and young people, and enhancing the firm’s AI capability to increase personalisation for children.
