Grants

NICOWL has secured two independent competitive grants from European and Hungarian national bodies — together representing external validation of both the scientific approach and the commercial potential of AI-based neonatal monitoring.

We were awarded a competitive NKFIH (National Research, Development and Innovation Office) grant under the "GYORSÍTÓSÁV" scheme, which supports the development of innovative healthcare technologies with high growth potential.

This grant funds operation, clinical data collection, AI model validation, and preparation for regulatory-grade deployment across NICU environments; representing independent expert assessment of NicOwl's scientific and commercial feasibility.
