Zendra Health, a Dublin-based medtech company, expects revenue to reach \u20ac2.2 million in 2027 and \u20ac20 million by 2029.<\/p>\n
Based in Kill O\u2019The Grange, the company was founded in 2017 by twins Thomas and David Coleman. The business has seven staff and generated \u20ac250,000 in revenue last year.<\/p>\n
The company has developed a platform to help improve access to ADHD and autism treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a huge demand for treatment, with decades of under-diagnosis. Health services are playing catch-up. There are 800,000 people on waitlists in the UK, with children the wait can be four years and up to 18 years with adults,\u201d Thomas Coleman told the Business Post.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce they finally get assessed, it\u2019s a bureaucratic nightmare. The information that comes back is often quite poor. Clinicians are not able to properly determine if medications are optimised and they often don\u2019t have time to monitor physical health.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zendra\u2019s platform is designed to make the administrative load much lighter across the board to accelerate the process.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe connect all the players, including parents, teachers and clinicians, into one evidence-based platform. Instead of getting a firehose of information, it\u2019s one centralised portal that operates as a touchpoint throughout the journey,\u201d Coleman said.<\/p>\n
Prior to setting up Zendra Health, Thomas Coleman was a software architect while David Coleman was an engineer. Between them, they developed an interest in accelerating the creation of solutions for clinicians.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe followed in our father\u2019s footsteps by starting a business. We started with two products; the first was focused on digitalising patient journeys and the other was a system for care coordination in community health settings,\u201d Coleman said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was going great, but we realised in those spaces that we were a small fish in a big pond. When we won a contract for ADHD services, we couldn\u2019t get over how complex it was. That was interesting as we realised that not many people would be able to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
The business has embraced the challenge and has already made its product live to service patients.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe did two years of research and development on the product. Since going live last year, we have spread rapidly in public and private providers in Ireland. We\u2019re also in two NHS services in the UK and have our first US use-case study in development,\u201d Coleman said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe traction has been brilliant. In just one year we are getting momentum not just in Ireland but internationally as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Enterprise Ireland supports the business, and Coleman praised the agency for the support it has provided.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have helped in many ways. They have signposted useful events for us as well as providing feasibility grants to help us do research before we enter markets,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey also have market advisors, who are like top-class diplomats that can open up doors for us in the UK and US.\u201d<\/p>\n
With ambitious growth goals, Coleman is confident Zendra will expand rapidly across its target markets.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re working in collaboration with Trinity College Dublin to do further research. We are doing more with the NHS as well, in preparation for a land and expand in the US in either late 2027 or early 2028.\u201d<\/p>\n
