DynoSense Closes $9.4 Million Series A Funding Round

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--()--Digital health innovator DynoSense has announced that it has closed a $9.4 million Series A funding round, with participation from WI Harper Group; JKOM Cloud Health Technology Co; Plug and Play Tech Center; Jinmao Capital; and Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich and Rosati. The company will use the proceeds to support U.S. regulatory clearance and commercialization of its patented Dyno, the world’s first fully integrated multi-function health scanner technology that can capture more than 33 critical health metrics in less than 60 seconds with a single user action. The captured health data is securely and wirelessly uploaded to the company’s cloud computing platform for further analytics and processing, and is then communicated with healthcare professionals.

“Our mission is to be at the forefront of the digital healthcare revolution, a market anticipated to reach more than $26 billion by 2020,” said Saeed Azimi, chief executive officer of DynoSense. “With the Dyno, we are marking a new paradigm in how patients can be remotely monitored for physiological changes. We believe this will open up a whole new era of disease prevention that will enhance delivery of care, resulting in leapfrog improvements in efficiency, health outcomes and cost reduction.”

The Dyno is uniquely positioned to address the digital health market, which spans managed elderly care, chronic disease care, hospital discharge care, consumer health and telemedicine. The device is elegant and medical-grade quality, with an intelligent user interface that ensures both ease of use and accuracy. The Dyno is currently optimized to capture all five fundamental vital signs as well as other key health metrics, including:

  • Electrocardiogram (ECG), for all heart parameters and heart related irregularities
  • Photoplethysmography, for extracting blood oxygen (SPO2)
  • Pulmonary plethysmography, for extracting respiration rate, breathing volume and breathing efficiency (CO vs. oxygen)
  • Blood pressure changes
  • Core body temperature, and others

“The Dyno is indicative of the cutting-edge digital health products that are being developed and brought to market by the experienced team at DynoSense,” said Paul Chau, managing director, WI Harper Group and a member of the DynoSense board of directors. “We believe the company has an extraordinary opportunity to help drive the innovative and disruptive digital trends that are shaping the future of the healthcare industry.”

DynoSense is working toward a submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for 510(k) clearance of its Dyno technology.
