NIH Awards iHealthScreen $2.7M in Funding!

We recently received $2.7M in funding from The National Institutes of Health! NIH is the largest public funder of biomedical research in the world. 

Sharing the Same Mission

 

In fiscal year 2022, NIH invested most of its $45 billion appropriations in research. They invest in research that improves people's lives, focusing on reducing illness and disability. 

 

NIH-funded research has led to breakthroughs and new treatments. Our team shares the same mission of helping people live longer. People deserve healthier lives, and we're achieving this by building a research foundation that drives discovery.
