This new investment brings the company's total funding to $45 million. 

As 14 European health innovation projects receive more than €6 million in funding from EIT Health, CEO Jan-Philipp Beck says the COVID-19 pandemic will accelerate the speed of change enabled by digital healthcare and telemedicine – and not before time.

The role of health tech innovators has been acknowledged by the UK government as it launches a support and investment package for young tech businesses hit by the crisis.
