This enables Ieso’s therapists in the UK and US to receive data-led insights about each patient during the assessment stage of treatment, providing them with predictions of a patient's presenting condition, severity of presentation and likelihood of completing a full course of therapy.

These awards help us to put the area on the map as we look to attract and inspire other innovative businesses who may want to call the area home.”

Winning this award will only spur us on! We would like to extend our gratitude to the judging panel, who selected Ieso.”
