An innovative approach to measuring blood pressure
Aktiia, a Swiss startup, offers a simplified solution for measuring blood pressure using artificial intelligence. The device allows users to measure their blood pressure by simply placing their finger on a smartphone camera, without the need for a cuff or additional equipment. The technology captures physiological data in 90 seconds and provides accurate, medically compliant results without calibration. This product is expected to be available as an app in 2025.
A team of experts in medical technology
Aktiia was founded in 2018 by Dr. Mattia Bertschi and Dr. Josep Solà, who spent over 15 years researching blood pressure at the CSEM in Switzerland. The company is led by Rags Gupta, who oversees its international expansion, particularly in the United States.
Strong funding to support growth
Since its inception, Aktiia has raised €56.5 million across five funding rounds. The most recent, a €28.4 million Series A in 2024, was led by investors such as Molten Ventures, Khosla Ventures, and Verve Ventures. This funding aims to support the development of the application, as well as compliance with European regulations, following the CE marking obtained in 2024, certifying the product’s compliance with medical standards in Europe.
