InteliCare has been awarded a $100,000 grant from the New South Wales Smart Sensing Network (“NSSN”) to develop its machine learning (ML) capability in conjunction with the University of Sydney (USyd) and Macquarie University (MU).
The company is negotiating an agreement with USyd, MU and the NSSN to use these funds to help fund a one-year joint project delivered by the universities’ Computer Science Departments.
The goal is to build ML algorithms that can predict and prevent chronic disease and mental health deterioration that can lead to a loss of independence and an increased risk of injury.
In addition to the NSSN funds, InteliCare will provide a co-contribution of $152,898 in cash and the universities will provide $161,021 of in-kind support. Ongoing development beyond the initial project will require the company to budget from working capital.
