Summary

Papcup and Peripear have each secured 75,000 pounds from Innovate UK's Women in Innovation program. These grants will accelerate the development of Papcup's menstrual blood biosensing diagnostic and Peripear's AI-driven support platforms, targeting critical gaps in non-invasive screening.

The company works in Diagnostics and Digital Health/Telehealth, and this round at Grant/Non-dilutive is new money into that part of the market. Compare it with other recent rounds to see whether prices here are rising or holding steady.
