BioIntelliSense — a continuous health monitoring and clinical intelligence company — recently announced it closed a significantly oversubscribed $45 million Series B funding round. This funding round followed a prior Series A financing completed in 2019 and a Series A-Prime completed in 2020 to support BioIntelliSense’s continued growth and global expansion of its medical-grade wearable devices and advanced data services for scalable remote care.
The participation in the Series B financing was prominently led by Chimera (UAE) and joined by 7wire Technology Partners, Mary Tolan of Chicago Pacific Founders, James Murren formerly of MGM Resorts International, as well as Pendrell Corporation, Royal Philips, and Fresenius Medical Care North America.
