Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire Aug 20, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Advanced Healthcare Technology Ltd (AHT), the company behind the internationally recognised Babypod brand of neonatal transport devices, has secured new investment from medical device entrepreneur Chris Scott, who has also joined the company’s Board of Directors.
Chris Scott has extensive experience in the medical device and pharmaceutical sectors but is best known for founding Pharmahouse Ltd in 2014, which he grew to £10m revenue and sold to Italian multinational, the Petrone Group, in 2023.
Chris Scott said “I have admired the Babypod products throughout my career, and I am thrilled to be joining AHT at such an exciting stage in its growth, driven by international distributor expansion and new product development.”
Mark Lait, AHT’s Founder and Managing Director, said “we’re thrilled to have Chris on board, he is well known and respected in the industry and has excellent skills in international distribution, commercialisation and marketing that will prove invaluable as we pursue our ambitious growth plans. His investment will act as a catalyst for our new product development, allowing us to expand our range of products for neonatal transport and care at a faster pace.’
AHT’s original flagship product, the BabyPod Infant transport device, was developed using the same technology, materials and design features that protect Formula One racing car drivers from injury during a crash. The result is a safety-focused, easily manageable solution for inter- and intra-hospital transport of neonates. AHT has since applied this same ethos of patient safety, warmth and comfort to provide much-needed solutions in other areas of in-hospital neonatal care.
