The Sunday Times Maserati 100 Entrepreneurs 2018

“The entrepreneurs celebrated in this year’s Maserati 100 like to get things done’ said Sunday Times’ journalist Andrew Lynch in his introduction to this year’s list of the top 100 entrepreneurs in 2018. And that is pretty true of Forte Medical’s founder and CEO, Giovanna Forte who was featured in the People’s Choice.

Giovanna set up the company to introduce the MedTech invention of her brother, NHS GP Dr Vincent Forte to healthcare providers seeking clinical integrity and cost savings.

Dr Forte questioned the frequency of second and third appointments to cure common UTI, which were taking up valuable surgery time. His investigations concluded that unreliable urine specimens were preventing right-first-time analysis, diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Peezy Midstream delivers 98.5% accuracy, bringing integrity to basic medicine and patient care, delivering efficiency and cost savings across the healthcare pathway.

Our new products will deliver accurate specimen collection for a range of novel cancer urine tests, sports dope testing and more. The Forte Medical Specimen Collection is destined to become eponymous across diagnostic medicine.
