Onera: Remote Sleep Diagnostic And Monitoring Solutions Company Raises Over €30 Million

By Annie Baker • Jan 16, 2024

Onera Health – a pioneer and leader in remote sleep diagnostic and monitoring solutions enabling clinicians to conduct sleep studies anytime, anywhere – recently announced the completion of its Series C financing round. This latest funding round brings Onera’s total investment to over €55 million.

The funding round was led by new investor EQT Life Sciences, investing from its EQT Health Economics 3 fund, co-led by new investor Gimv, and joined by existing investors, including Innovation Industries, Invest-NL, imec.xpand, BOM, and 15th Rock.

This funding will enable the company to accelerate manufacturing and deployment plans to meet the growing customer demand for its innovative, self-applied, no-wire end-to-end solution. And the company plans to use the funds to expedite the clearance of the second generation of its polysomnography (PSG) system in Europe and the United States, further underlining the ambition to position itself as a leader in home PSG (hPSG) within the field of sleep medicine.

Onera Health focuses on breakthrough sleep testing solutions that are quick, convenient, and clinically accurate. And the user-centric technology of their PSG system brings clinical-grade PSG diagnostics and monitoring directly to the patient’s bed from the comfort of their own home. The MedTech and Digital Health company operates in the U.S., the Benelux, and the DACH region.

As part of this deal, Drew Burdon and Michaël Vlemmix will join Onera Health’s Board of Directors.
