Salvia awarded €5.1M funding from European Innovation Council

article

Today, the European Innovation Council (EIC) announced Salvia was awarded a €5.1M blended funding award from EIC’s accelerator program for the clinical development of a complementary chronic cluster headache indication for its innovative neuromodulation system.

Cluster headaches are attacks of excruciating pain on one side of the head, typically around the eye. Attacks can occur multiple times per day and last for up to 3 hours and are typically clustered with periods of 1 to 2 months. It’s a rare type of headache, it affects approximately 1 in 1000 people, and it can affect people at any age. Cluster headaches are notoriously difficult to treat, but early results with Salvia’s neuromodulation system are promising.

Wim Pollet (Salvia’s Chief Medical Officer) comments, “Cluster headache is also known as ‘suicide headache’ due to the intense pain. Since we founded Salvia, we have had the desire to also help people with Cluster Headache. The EIC Accelerator support now allows us to also develop the clinical study program in support of this indication”.

Salvia BioElectronics is a medical device company pioneering neuromodulation therapies for migraine and cluster headache. Salvia's unique, paper-thin implant is designed to reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine and cluster headache attacks by delivering gentle electrical pulses to the nerves associated with the condition. The company is currently in the clinical stage of development.

The European Innovation Council (EIC) is Europe’s flagship innovation program to identify, develop and scale up breakthrough technologies. It has been established under the EU Horizon Europe program to support game changing innovations throughout the lifecycle from early-stage research, to proof of concept, technology transfer, and the financing and scale up of start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises.

Page Title (H1)

Header (H2)

A subheading or chapter heading (H3)

Introductory text or a first paragraph of information on this subject. Write as naturally as possible and be nice and specific. If necessary, use AI software to help you get started, but definitely don't use it one-on-one. Search engines can penalize AI content.

Subheading (H4)

Here too there is more than enough room for a good story, an interesting article or background information. If necessary, use a summary:

  • a summary is clear
  • one can see the benefits or features at a glance
  • also use search terms if necessary

Another topic (H3)

Another subheading (H4)

Do not use a Title Header (H1), but use an H2 Header instead. An H1 is actually a title of the page and may only appear once on a web page. The H2 is a kind of chapter and the other headers (H3 to H6) are subheadings and subheadings within the chapter. The order is important for the readability of visitors and search engines.

  1. a summary is clear
  2. one can see the benefits or features at a glance
  3. also use search terms if necessary

This way everything remains easy to read and understandable for the reader. People can also scroll directly to the topic they are interested in.

Paragraph heading style (H5)

This is another example of a heading. The headings H5 and H6 are usually used as paragraph headings, each with their own style.

Paragraph heading style (H6)

In the editor you can really see a difference in font size of all headers, but on the live website they have their own style.

Other options

Use a "quote". That looks like this:

This is a quote!

You can also put texts in bold, italic, etc.
Of maak een link naar een andere pagina of website.
And finally, you can also create Superscript(1) and Subscript(2) text.
