Research

What this budget pays for, and what it does not

In this budget

Feasibility study, funded by Well of Art, with results around month 9. The research programme as a whole, including team time on study work, is PLN 3.03M ($813k), 36% of costs.

Not in this budget

The main study. Planned to start in H2 2027 and finish by the end of 2028. It needs an external sponsor, still to be secured.

The main study is designed to be independent of the company: an external sponsor and an independent research partner keep the result credible to hospitals and funders.
