Central London, UK – 2nd April 2025 – Today, four of South Asia's foremost MedTech companies will present their innovative solutions to hand-selected journalists and analysts in central London. Each startup will address a vital challenge in elderly care including fall prevention, medication adherence, dementia diagnosis, and air quality monitoring.



This event marks the beginning of a 25-year regeneration project, based in East London and designed to tackle the UK's most urgent national healthcare challenges and revolutionise the NHS.



The demo day event is the result of a partnership between Rainmaking, a global innovation firm, Care City, a not-for-profit innovation centre, and Thames Freeport, an economic growth zone benefitting from over £600 million in investment from public and private sources. Other stakeholders include Thurrock Council and the London Boroughs of Barking and Dagenham and Havering, which were identified as areas where med tech could pay a vital role in mitigating local health and economic challenges.

Daniel Avery, the Head of Venture Building at Rainmaking added: “Today marks an exciting day for the future of MedTech in this country. There needs to be a stronger focus on prevention in the UK healthcare system. By focusing on preventing and detecting, there will be far reaching health benefits for the entire UK population. By leveraging advanced tools, we can address root causes and manage risk factors earlier; leading to better outcomes and reduced healthcare costs.”

The demo day event unites a diverse group of different skill sets, from healthcare and technology to innovation and business, all driven by a shared vision of revolutionising healthcare through technology. The adult health and social care accelerator initiative aims to improve and increase job prosperity in the area, alleviate pressure on the NHS, and attract international investment.

Myung Jin Ko (MJ) is the CEO and co-founder of Silvia Health, one of the medtech startups whose AI-driven digital solutions focus on dementia prevention: “It's an honour to be given the opportunity to show to the UK public the potential of our technology through our partnership with Thames Freeport. Our mission is to use AI in the real-world for dementia prevention, to ensure early intervention is scalable and accessible.”

JCF Technology (McKare): This cutting-edge radar-based solution predicts and prevents falls, a major concern for the elderly population, reducing emergency visits and hospital admissions and ensuring patient safety and independence.
