VitalConnect Closes $25 Million in Financing

VitalConnect, a developer of medical-grade wearable biosensor systems, has closed a term loan facility of $17.5 million with Perceptive Advisors LLC, of which $10 million was funded at initial closing. Armentum Partners acted as financial advisor to VitalConnect in conjunction with this financing.
 
The Company also recently extended its Series B round to raise an additional $7.8 million of equity capital taking the total raised to date in the Series B round to $22.1 million. This combined funding will propel VitalConnect’s commercialization of the HealthPatch MD and VitalPatch biosensors for patient monitoring in the hospital and at home.
 
“Virtual patient monitoring with wearable biosensors is evolving into an important method of care delivery for hospitals and doctors,” said Dr. Nersi Nazari, VitalConnect chairman and CEO. “These additional financings confirm that biosensors are the foundation for improving patient care and the speed of medical response that will lead to better outcomes for future patients.”
 
VitalConnect currently markets the VitalConnect Platform that includes two wearable biosensors combined with mobile and cloud-based software and analytics.
