Background

My Medic Watch are a start-up operating in the medical devices industry with a vision of providing increased independence and safety for individuals who suffer from chronic illnesses.

Results

As a result of engaging Armstrong Dawson the business has benefited from:

First and fore-most the Grant Application was successful.

Following the “self-assessment process” My Medic Watch were successful with the first two rounds of grant funding and expect to receive further funds for the R&D they are still doing.

My Medic Watch also feel very confident that everything has been done in a way that is compliant with the ATO’s rules and regulations.

As My Medic Watch are in the medical industry it was critical to them that the R& D grant process was undertaken in an ethical way and working with Armstrong Dawson they were confident that that was the case.

What the client says

“We have a small team who are all very busy.  It would have been really difficult for us to use our own resources to apply for the grant.  Armstrong Dawson have a lot of knowledge about the process, they know what information the government is looking for when it comes to grant applications and the specific wording required.

It was a lot more efficient and better return on our investment to work with Armstrong Dawson given their skills, experience and knowledge.

I would recommend Armstrong Dawson to any company that is doing Research & Development.  They are easy to deal with and always willing to help answer all our questions.  This was a completely new process for us and they were always ready to help.  They are very ethical and rigorous in their approach.

 Rachel from Armstrong Dawson made us feel comfortable with any questions. She had a very warm and friendly manner that made us feel supported. I never felt like I was wasting her time.  They always delivered on time. Often, they were waiting on us to respond not the other way around, so that was great.  I only have good things to say about them.”
