HCi Viocare reported that their health tech research centre, set up in Glasgow to develop and commercialize smart sensors that help prevent diabetic foot ulcers and athletic injuries, was officially opened by First Minister and local MSP Nicola Sturgeon. The company said that their new research and development centre was opened together with its first prosthetics and orthotics clinic. The company has already brought substantial inward investment into the city's Govan area, having so far created five scientific and professional jobs at its dual facility, with more to come.
