Newcastle-based UK/US-born digital healthtech Daiser has landed a spot on Google’s Growth Academy: AI for Health startup accelerator programme, one of just three UK business to do so and only 25 globally.
Daiser, co-founded by renowned UK Professor Mike Trenell (pictured) and US tech innovator Adam Wootton, joins Google’s academy, an exclusive, game-changing accelerator designed to propel the most promising health tech startups on the planet, with a trip to Poland in May where it will kick off the three-month hybrid programme, joining the other, handpicked cohort of 25 standout startups from Morocco to the UAE. The rigorous selection process combed Europe, the Middle East, and Africa for companies reshaping health and wellbeing with artificial intelligence, and joining Daiser from the UK are London cancer prediction AI firm C The Signs and Gloucestershire women’s health specialist Anya.
Daiser is re-imagining how care is delivered. The AI-native platform takes a people-first approach, not just treating conditions but enabling personalised, scalable solutions through its flexible ‘Lego brick’ system. This gives healthcare providers and researchers a powerful, easy-to-use digital toolkit to build exactly what users need – affordably, and scale.

Trenell said: “This isn’t just a milestone for us – it’s a moment of lift-off. Being chosen by Google is recognition of the transformational potential we see in Daiser. The access to global experts, peer innovators, and ongoing mentorship will be rocket fuel as we gear up for growth and investment.”
Though just a year old, Daiser is already partnering with some of the UK’s most respected institutions, including the South Yorkshire Digital Health Hub (SYDHH) and the EPSRC’s EdgeAI Hub.
Noam Feinstein, senior startup partner manager and campus lead at Google for Startups, added: “We’re excited to welcome Daiser to the Growth Academy: AI for Health. Their people-centric approach to AI in healthcare stood out in our rigorous selection process. Google is proud to support their mission and connect them with other visionary companies who are redefining the future of health.”
Participants in the accelerator will benefit from virtual and in-person sessions focused on AI best practices, product design, leadership, responsible innovation, and customer growth, with ongoing technical support from Google’s expert teams—even after the programme ends.
Trenell added: “This isn’t just an opportunity. For Daiser, it’s a launchpad to help redefine what healthcare can be in the age of AI.”
