  • Continuous health monitoring company BioIntelliSense raises $45 million. These are the details.

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.  And these parties joined the existing investors from the Series A financing, namely TripleTree Holdings, UCHealth and the CU Healthcare Innovation Fund.

BioIntelliSense is driving a new era of continuous health monitoring and clinical intelligence for Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM). And its medical-grade Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) platform captures multi-parameter vital signs, physiological biometrics, and symptomatic events through an effortless patient experience. 

The FDA-cleared BioSticker and medical-grade BioButton devices make remote monitoring and early detection simpler. And through the platform’s advanced analytics, clinicians will now have access to high-resolution patient trending and reporting to enable medical-grade care at home.
