Press Releases — Siloton Limited
Summary
Run by the UKs most established website for entrepreneurs, Startups.co.uk, the Startups 100 offers a showcase of new businesses that demonstrate innovation, solid financials, opportunity in their market, a great concept, and a strong customer base or following. The Siloton team has shown that we can use affordable and scalable technology to expand the reach of OCT systems, reducing preventable blindness, alleviating pressure on eye clinics, and potentially saving healthcare providers like the NHS billions each year. Mr. Winfried MK Amoaku, Consultant Ophthalmologist and Clinical Assoc Prof & Reader at the University of Nottingham, said: "OCT imaging is an essential part of modern eye medical care, and the NHS is experiencing intense capacity pressures in this area. All of this years winners have creatively applied physics to bring about positive change to individuals, societies or economies, by tackling a new problem or improving on a previous solution, and all are thoroughly deserving of an IOP Business Award. Drs Price and Allen have received the award for developing and commercialising a world-leading integrated photonics platform for optical coherence tomography, and designing a personal eye scanner around it to prevent sight loss from age-related macular degeneration.
