Girton Labs Ltd were awarded a share (approx £67,000) of a TSB grant of £683,536 for SenseBulb technology but we declined it in Sept 2011. The SenseBulb is a novel heat sensing camera that tracks people and objects and helps senior people feel safe in their home. Text messages are sent when a person falls or leaves the kitchen with hob unattended. It is a working prototype as image on iPhone shows. The initial design of it's predecessor SenseCam was designed at Microsoft Research Cambridge.

The project on hold at present until funding obtained but Girton Labs is working on other innovative medical research projects at present.
