MIME Technologies secures £255k seed funding from Equity Gap and Scottish Investment Bank to scale operations
The funding round was led by Equity Gap investors and the Scottish Investment Bank to accelerate customer growth and expand the team.
MIME Technologies is a medical technology spin-out from the University of Aberdeen that develops in-flight health monitoring systems for cabin crew. Its software links patient vital signs directly to medical professionals on the ground.
MIME Technologies has secured £255k in seed funding from Equity Gap investors and the Scottish Investment Bank alongside a Scottish Enterprise grant. The capital will be deployed to drive customer growth and create technical and operational positions within the business.
The Inverness-based company builds digital health monitoring tools designed to assist cabin crew during medical incidents in transit. Its technology captures vital signs and relays data to remote clinicians, easing handovers when flights must divert.
The round follows field trials with a global aviation operator and aims to position the firm for broader adoption among international carriers.
From the founder
"Diverting an aircraft is an expensive and technically complex business. Although many carriers have voice support to doctors on the ground, it is often difficult for them to ‘review and recommend’ because of limited data."
Anne Roberts
co-founder & chief executive officer at MIME Technologies
Investor perspective
"We are delighted to be investing in the team at MIME and are excited by the opportunities that their new technology can address. The aviation industry is well aware of the cost and disruption of in-flight medical emergencies so the MIME solution is being well received and we envisage the investment will accelerate the commercial adoption."
