Noah Labs Pioneers AI-Driven Cardiac Care Solution

Noah Labs, a Berlin-based digital health startup, has successfully secured €3 million in seed funding to advance its innovative AI-powered telemonitoring solution for cardiovascular care. According to a recent press release, the funding round was led by Nina Capital, a dedicated health technology investor from Barcelona, with participation from adesso ventures, the German Heart Center Berlin Foundation, and the Brandenburg Investment Bank.

The company's flagship software, Ark, which recently received approval as a Class IIa medical device under EU regulations, enables comprehensive management of chronic diseases, with a primary focus on heart failure, hypertension, and cardiac arrhythmias. By utilizing data from smartwatches, ECGs, and blood pressure monitors, the software provides real-time insights to healthcare providers, potentially reducing cardiovascular complications, hospitalizations, and mortality rates among patients with heart conditions.

In addition to its telemonitoring capabilities, Noah Labs is at the forefront of cutting-edge research into voice analysis as a novel biomarker for heart failure. The company is currently conducting clinical studies in collaboration with prestigious institutions such as the Mayo Clinic in the USA, Charité in Berlin, and university hospitals in Maastricht and Barcelona. This patented technology aims to detect subtle changes in a patient's voice that could indicate the early stages of heart failure, potentially revolutionizing diagnosis and monitoring processes.

"Our AI analyzes hundreds of parameters in voice samples, capturing even the smallest changes," explained a spokesperson for Noah Labs. "In the long term, this solution could help identify changes at an early stage, enabling timely therapeutic decisions and effectively reducing hospital stays."

The newly acquired funding will allow Noah Labs to further intensify its research activities in voice analysis and develop solutions for other medical conditions.
