STOCK WATCH

MEDICAL technology group Feedback is in advanced talks with the NHS to trial its app Bleepa at pilot sites.

The encrypted messaging app allows doctors to send each other pictures of X-Rays and other scans.

Doctors usually use WhatsApp to do this when diagnosing patients, leaving them vulnerable to lawsuits.

The firm is also pondering other commercial opportunities for Bleepa, within and outside the NHS. Shares jumped 4.2pc, or 0.05p, to 1.25p.
