Sensydia: Cardiac Assessment Platform Company Raises $8 Million

By Noah Long ● May 22, 2023

Sensydia – a non-invasive cardiac assessment company – announced it has raised approximately $8 million in a new round of funding from an expanded syndicate of investors. The proceeds of the funding will enable the company to prepare for the commercialization of its groundbreaking non-invasive cardiac assessment platform Cardiac Performance System (CPS). And Sensydia continues to push the boundaries of its heart-sound AI technology, which promises to transform the diagnosis and management of heart disease (the leading cause of death worldwide).

This funding round was led by Orlando Health Ventures with participation from Colle Capital, Frontier Venture Capital, and others. And concurrent with this financing, Erick Hawkins, Chief Administrative Officer for Orlando Health, will join the Sensydia board of directors.

Sensydia’s CPS platform utilizes ultra-sensitive biosensors and AI algorithms to provide clinicians with rapid and non-invasive measurement of ejection fraction, cardiac output, pulmonary artery pressure, and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure in a handheld device without the need for in-hospital catheterization.

This funding round will enable the company to finalize the development of the CPS platform and submit to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2024 for prioritized review as part of the FDA Breakthrough Devices Program.
