C-mo Medical Solutions, a provider of a wearable fully-automated real-time cough assessment and recording technology, announced an extension to its seed investment round.
Novalis Biotech led the investment round with participation from Novalis Biotech, Boehringer Ingelheim Venture Fund, Portugal Ventures, and High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF).
The extension round now brings the company’s total seed funding to date to €4.8 million, according to the press release.
According to Diogo Tecelão, co-founder and CEO of C-mo Medical Solutions, this extension of the seed investment round will allow the company to further explore and unlock the full potential of cough assessment, namely by expanding the capabilities and applications of their technology.
Commenting on the funding news, Diogo Tecelão said: C-mo Medical Solutions is committed to solving the pressing need to better assess chronic cough, a symptom that affects more than 700 million adults worldwide. “Cough is a clinically rich symptom that holds valuable information about the patient’s health. However, the lack of tools to assess and manage chronic cough remains a major unmet medical need. Our mission is to change that!”
“Our unique technology analyses the subtle characteristics of the patient’s cough, translating them into actionable insights that add significant value in key several use-cases. C-mo has the potential to greatly speed up diagnosis, optimize treatment courses, improve disease management, and support pharmaceutical research,” added Diogo Tecelão.
