FRANCE – inHEART, a Pessac, France-based provider of a cloud-based medical image analysis solution for cardiac interventions on patients with arrhythmias, closed a round of €3.7m.
The round was led by Elaia. These funds will be used to accelerate commercial development in Europe, access the US market, and advance its technology leadership with continued development of AI and numerical simulations of cardiac electrical activity. Co-founded by Jean-Marc Peyrat, CEO, by Prof. Pierre Jaïs, cardiologist, Maxime Sermesant, expert in AI and cardiac modeling, Hubert Cochet, radiologist expert in cardiac imaging, inHEART provides a cloud-based software solution that transforms preoperative medical images into a 3D digital twin of the patient’s heart. This digital twin enables the cardiologist to plan the procedure and also to assist in navigating instruments in the patient’s heart, reducing procedure duration and failure rates. The technology has been used on more than 2000 patients in 40 centers around the world and included in the latest international expert recommendations. The company is a spin-off from IHU Liryc and Inria, two worldwide leading centers respectively in cardiac electrophysiology and digital science and technology. 03/07/2020
