With the advent of chronic diseases and aging populations, continuous, preventive healthcare has become paramount. 

Wireless wearable health monitoring devices emerge as a revolutionary solution to these challenges. It offers continuous monitoring, real-time data analytics, and personalized health insights. 

Unlike traditional healthcare devices, these wearables provide seamless, non-invasive, and user-friendly options for patients and healthcare providers. They enable early detection of potential health issues, facilitating timely medical interventions.

This article describes five startups developing innovative wireless wearable devices for health monitoring in 2024.

There are more trends in the digital healthcare sector to watch in 2024, such as precision medicine and remote treatment. Fill out the form below to download the complete report:

1. Kardi AI monitors heart rhythm to generate a cardiac activity report

Founding Year2022
HeadquarterOlomoucky kraj, Czech Republic
Total Funding Amount€1.9M
Last Funding Round/Amount€1.5M/seed round
Websitekardi.ai

Kardi AI is a Czech-based startup that offers telemedicine and patient healthcare tools. Its service enables long-term EKG monitoring for preventive heart health care, early arrhythmia detection, and treatment optimization using artificial intelligence.

Founded in 2022, the startup aims to introduce an affordable diagnostic solution to the market, providing patients with a tool for heart healthcare that reduces the necessity for frequent doctor visits.

The Kardi AI service connects an EKG recording device with a unique application. The application monitors your heart rhythm and immediately alerts you in case of irregularities. It also generates a detailed report about your cardiac activity for your doctor.

It was founded by doctor Tomáš Skála, serial entrepreneur Stephen Burke, technologist Pavel Digaňa, and product designer David Skala.

Kardi AI has raised €1.9M in funding over two rounds. Their latest funding was from a seed round on November 28, 2023.

2. Pulsetto uses electromagnetic waves to induce sleep

Founding Year2022
HeadquarterVilnius, Vilniaus Apskritis, Lithuania
Total Funding Amount€550K
Last Funding Round/Amount€500K, pre-seed round
Websitepulsetto.tech

Pulsetto has developed a device for stress relief and better sleep. The device stimulates the vagus nerve in the parasympathetic nervous system, which controls the heart, lungs, and digestive system. Stimulating the nerve slows down the heart rate and encourages relaxation.

Their device uses electromagnetic waves to easily and safely activate the vagus nerve. Vagus nerve stimulation has been used in medicine since 1988, but previously, it was an invasive procedure. Pulsetto’s solution allows them to provide the benefits without entering the operating room.

Vitalijus Majorovas, the company’s CEO and Co-founder, is a certified sleep and recovery coach. He recognized the potential of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) and created an effective and comfortable device for everyday use.

Pulsetto has raised €550K in funding over two rounds. Their latest funding was from a pre-seed round on April 28, 2022.
