Bond Digital, the Welsh COPD med-tech company based in Cardiff, said that it has raised over $1.3 million for its Lateral flow test (LFT) software system. The company said that the new funds would be employed in expanding its headcount, customer service team and marketing. The LFTs are a type of testing for COPD Bond using a platform to capture millions of data points simultaneously and in real time and deliver reports to health professionals via an app or computer dashboard. LFTs have gained more importance as a control strategy amid global COVID ravages.
