History[edit]
Kaido was founded in 2015 by Richard Westman.

In May 2016, Kaido received £50,000 of investment from Creative England's Interactive Healthcare Programme for market testing,[5] and joined the Serendip Smart City Incubator.[6] Five months later, in October 2016, it received a further £50,000 of investment from Mercia's SME Innovation Fund in order to bring their platform to market.[7] At the same time it became a UK-managed Microsoft partner company and joined its IoT & Data Innovation Programme.[4]
Kaido has won a variety of awards including the EIT Health Headstart Award in December 2016, for which it recevied £50,000 of in-kind support from Pfizer, P&F, IBM and EIT Health.[8] In July 2017, Kaido won the Economic Impact Award for it's Insights Platform, which turns health data into insights used by patients, doctors and businesses.[9] In August 2018 it was named as one of BusinessCloud's 51 Tech for Good stars.[10]
