Biomedical startup Adapttech has raised £2 million in a new venture capital funding.
The company, which is based at the Institute of Translational Medicine in Edgbaston, will use the new finance for product developments and to drive sales of its ‘Insight’ system which it says makes it easier to fit lower-limb prostheses and monitor rehabilitation.
The system combines a 3D scanner, sensors, wearable technology and a mobile app to make it faster and easier to reach a comfortably fitting prostheses socket.
This funding round was supported by a mix of mew amd existing investors including the Midlands Engine Investment Fund, Bionova Capital, ACF Investors, Wealth Club and Wren Capital.
