MMC Ventures and Hambro Perks led the round to support team growth and international expansion.
"Musculoskeletal health conditions have been a societal problem across the world for decades, and our data shows that rates of pain have massively increased since the rise of hybrid working. With this new funding, we’ll be able to continue our growth to reduce the financial and health costs for employers and their teams."
The London-based bladder care startup secured backing from Eka VC and Joyance to drive its upcoming launch in the United States.
"Since launch, we’ve improved the lives of tens of thousands of people suffering from bladder issues with treatments and education tools. This investment will be critical in us achieving this mission, and expanding our services to the US, where 75m people struggle with these issues. I’m incredibly happy to welcome Eka Ventures and Joyance – who are aligned on our healthcare mission – and to continue our partnership with Samos VC."
The pre-seed round was co-led by Laidlaw Scholars Ventures and APEX Ventures.
"Recent advances in artificial intelligence are generating novel ways to interpret multiomic data. I am excited to lead CardiaTec’s technology strategy to establish a new paradigm for understanding the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases."
The financing round includes backing from Kima Ventures alongside a UKRI award to adapt the digital health coach for older adults.
"Age UK Lewisham and Southwark exists to improve the lives of older people, working towards a future in which all people are valued, safe, and empowered to make choices about their lives."
The funding round was led by Heal Capital and will support team expansion and product development.
"Healthcare touches each and every one of us and the recent pandemic has highlighted that at a global level. It showed the need to bring healthcare closer to people’s homes and that we need to leverage many of the recent innovations in digital health and consumer biotech to capture as many data points about human health as possible. This will transform our understanding of the human body and our approach to disease detection and management. At Sanome we are working toward developing multiple at home health tools to drive disruption within the healthcare landscape to benefit each one of us"
