LifeQ Press Releases

SA and US-based biotech startup LifeQ has secured $47-million in Series A funding form One Bio Venture Studio, a Cape Town-based VC and several other investors.

Chief Executive of LifeQ Laurence Olivier said much of the capital from the Series A round will be used to help hospitals and physicians develop remote monitoring in addition to the consumer-device monitoring LifeQ currently provides.

ADI offers the semiconductor expertise and LifeQ provides the bio-mathematical understanding needed to develop sensors that can make body monitoring devices even more effective in preventing, predicting and managing diseases. This, in turn, will impact how doctors and patients share information, interact, and make decisions about patient care.
