rebarm. Many thanks. As you say the communication between ground and network in rural areas was the main problem in my mind, also. Spent a lot of time bumming around India a while ago now- so I do know how remote rural India can be.
So Cloud takes care of this barrier. That is excellent. Telecoms / cloud etc is not my area, as you may have noticed and I'm not sure i will be the only one. Understanding the technology is a real advantage in investing in these kinds of stocks.
Thanks Vas.

Thanks both.
So their is a network in rural areas its just the growth of mobile has not caught up with more developed parts of the country.
Cheers Vas

Thanks Barn. Fantastic interview with promises of further news quite soon!

One of the things i struggle with is if the rural areas of India, have very little network capability then how will Feedback roll out their AI solution to these areas and still get nearly live feedback form scans etc. It needs a network to transfer files ! Am i missing something here. If they for example share files over a network every evening for example ...that takes away the nearly live AI interpretation of chest Xrays, and "live consultation" with a radiologist in a far away city .
Surely, the rural areas will need either full access to a mobile network or some kind of private solution , such as a satellite .
I know very little about telecommunications but am i missing something here - is there a partner who can provide a Pan Indian network - i don't think so.

Excellent news re India. Things will move on from here .... I think the key line in todays RNS for me is..

"The funding is targeted at covering the initial cloud hosting costs of the TB screening service in the pilot stages, ahead of plans to scale the service across India following a successful pilot."

ragnarr. I look forward to news on a tuberculosis screening pilot study in India sometime in the early New year. They are gong to need some very large partners in India , which is something else to look forward too.

Just interviewed on Sky.

he was promoting the use of antibody testing as going out and about to work etc after having your vaccines / boosters is one thing , but individuals vary and what you really need to know before you circulate is that your antibody count on that day is sufficient to fight off the covid if you were to get it.
It makes sense because once you have taken all the step to protect yourself, you still do not know that you have the required level of antibody's in your system to protect yourself - the only way to find this out is to regularly test yourself for antibody's. I wonder if antibody testing will be the next step, once the population ( who want it) have received their vaccines ...as after that you are on your own.

Looks like india going full steam ahe

"The prime minister of India, Narendra Modi has announced health cards in India. According to the mission, there will be a single health card ID for every individual. This health care will have all the health details of the holder. Every citizen will have his own health card for health records..."Many people have to carry all their medical information in paper format and most of the time, these papers get lost. With the help of a digital health card, there will be a single digital platform that will contain the information of the holder."

"The information regarding to the health services will be provided on the app and it will have all the details of the doctors.
The doctors can also register themselves as Digi Doctors and they can have digital signatures.
The app will be available soon and you have to download it and register yourself under the mission.
After registering yourself on the app, you will get Health ID.
All the information regarding the medical treatment of the holder can be recorded and kept in the account of the holder.
There is no need to carry physical copies of X-rays or treatment files anymore as the information is available on the website.
The doctors can access the medical files of the patient from anywhere and at any time.

Thanks Seajay1. News to me. Reassuring they have chosen Feedback to disuses their experience during their recent pilots to kick off the round table conversation.

Hi Barnacle. Thanks for the link. I wonder if the "Programme Cornerstone Vision" , (link below) is related to this tender.
I can't find a date. GL Vas

If its a cash divi payout before Xmas then how many pence can we expect?

Correction. The Feedback investor page is only investments made up until 30th November 21 and since then

We have had
Premier Milton come on board at 9.5%
Octopus Inv. increase their stake to 12.7%
Mole Valley at 5.3%

Which means that 62.8 % of the company is held by institutions. Is this correct? Seem very high to me.

Looking at the FEEDBACK PLC SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION and including todays RNS stating Mole Valley have a 5.3% stake in the company - am i right in thinking that makes over 50% of shares held by institutions ! Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Just to add. Venture Capital , one of the investors has a Fantastic past record of investment in very early stage business including many house hold names such as Zoom, Deep-mind, Google, Hippo Insurance, Impossible Foods, Perfect Day and more.
More recently, Horizons Ventures participated in the US$200 million in its Series E funding of Airwallex, the digital payment fintech unicorn backed by Tencent Holdings.
so at least I think we can say that we are invested in a sector that has legs.....just hope some of the legs belong to Feedback.

I am unsure if Harrison.ai is a opportunity or a competitor. It reads as if its right bang on the money as far as collaboration working and partnership opportunity's go. I hope the company are made aware.

Regarding the new partnership agreement with Qure.ai, an AI solution provider developing decision support tools for medical imaging professionals. i found this blog form Qure which is a good read. Its a year old but shows what a good partnership these two company's could make in India and beyond.

This WHO meeting was held today GLOBAL MEETING OF THE WORKING GROUP ON PUBLIC-PRIVATE MIX (PPM) FOR TB CARE AND PREVENTION
02 and 03 December 2021 13:30H – 16:30H CET

If FDBK manage to get themselves into a position as a possible world solution provider in the tracking and identification , and management of TB etc etc then the opportunity's from this service alone is absolutely massive world wide for the next decade at least - as more and more country's make the commitment to eradicate TB.

Yes, factoryPhil. The SP has risen a couple of pence today....So yes, I'm pleased for you all, its god to be able to celebrate something once in a while - but lets put this into some kind of realistic prospective shall we....its taken two RNS s and a 6% spread? Its not been easy. Once the shares for sale dry up - it will be down again, as normal. Its going to be a long game this.....Just don't count anything under 10p out....

One of the things that did stand out ( of many) for me in a recent interview was when Dr Tom said how excited he was at the quality of potential partnerships he was in discussions with, regarding how they would roll out of Bleepa & locker both in UK and in India - in India, it sounded to me as if he had some good news he was gagging to tell us. A few quality partnerships announced in rollout of telecommunications across India for example - will do wonders for moral and SP, IMO.
