City researchers have also recently received £288.4k for an Innovate UK Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP), focusing on the design, development and assessment of an HbA1C sensor for the empowerment of diabetes patients - allowing them to better monitor their condition at home and encouraging them to comply with their therapeutic regime.

Both research projects are aimed at improving therapy compliance and offering a more insightful understanding into patient's health conditions.
