The Hilo blood pressure monitoring platform represents a pivotal technological advancement in continuous, non-invasive cardiovascular surveillance. Originally established in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, as Aktiia SA, the enterprise emerged from nearly two decades of dedicated micro-engineering research conducted at the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM). Co-founded by Mattia Bertschi and Josep Sola, the organisation pioneered optical pulse wave analysis to der

The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence in healthcare has created one of the fastest-growing software verticals in modern economic history, with the global market scaling from $14.92 Billion in 2024 to $21.66 Billion in 2025, and projected to reach $110.61 Billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 38.0%. Capital deployment into health AI has reached unprecedented density: by 2025, AI-native platforms captured 55% of all digital health venture funding,

The European healthcare technology and medical technology sectors have reached a definitive inflection point in 2026, transitioning from a period of venture-subsidised experimentation to an era of disciplined industrial maturity. This shift is characterized by a "Great Rationalization," where the market has moved past the speculative exuberance of the early 2020s and settled into a rigorous "flight to quality". Central to this transformation is the emergence of the "Founder B

Subconscious vibro-tactile stimulation (VTS) represents a powerful, emerging modality within the HealthTech sector, positioned to transition from a specialised clinical tool to a ubiquitous component of personalised healthcare. Defined as the application of non-invasive mechanical vibration to the skin to modulate neural activity, VTS operates on an implicit level, leveraging the body's natural sensory and proprioceptive systems to effect therapeutic changes in the brain and
