serFarma first learned about the SME Instrument funding opportunities through their participation in the ACE Acceleration Programme, an EU funded accelerator coordinated by EBN.

serFarma has been granted a Phase 1 SME Instrument financing for their project MEDimprove. Their proposal was the 5th in the topic of ICT for Health with a score of 14.11.

Jorge Pimenta, IPN Project Manager commented on this achievement saying: "serFARMA are part of IPN’s ecosystem of startups since 2014. They have been very thorough and persistent in developing the MEDimprove system. Cristina, Célia and Álvaro are a highly-skilled team and ACE support has been decisive for them. As the product is now ready for a full-scale implementation, the SME instrument will be strategic for the definition of their internationalisation roadmap."

serFarma was distinguished with its project MEDimprove, a software that supports self-care and self-medication in the context of minor health problems like headaches, colds and flu or fever.
