Red­wave Med­ical GmbH, a spe­cial­ist in bio-sig­nal analy­sis, is pleased to announce the clos­ing of its new financ­ing round. Redwave´s excel­lent progress in the field of cen­tral blood pres­sure mea­sure­ment and the company´s com­pelling pipeline con­vinced exist­ing investors includ­ing the lead investor bm‑t beteili­gungs­man­age­ment thürin­gen gmbh (bm|t), the expe­ri­enced busi­ness angel Dr. Ger­hard Scheuch, the Stiftung für Tech­nolo­gie, Inno­va­tion und Forschung (STIFT) and the Sparkasse Jena Saale-Hol­z­land to increase their invest­ment in the com­pany. Addi­tion­ally, Red­wave was able to attract the Mit­tel­ständis­che Beteili­gungs­ge­sellschaft Thürin­gen mbH (MBG) as a new investor. The cap­i­tal will enable the com­pany to con­tinue its growth, fur­ther tech­ni­cal devel­op­ment as well as the mar­ket­ing and inter­na­tion­al­iza­tion of the first algo­rithm «Antares», which is already avail­able on the market.

«Antares» enables the mea­sure­ment of cen­tral (aor­tal) blood pres­sure and the deter­mi­na­tion of arte­r­ial age using a con­ven­tional upper arm cuff. The cen­tral blood pres­sure describes the pres­sure in the aorta, which directly affects the heart and many other vital organs. Thus, cen­tral blood pres­sure is directly respon­si­ble for the risk of heart attack or stroke and con­tributes to the accu­rate deter­mi­na­tion of a patient’s blood pres­sure as well as to opti­mal ther­apy. Experts are already rec­om­mend­ing that ther­apy for high blood pres­sure be based on cen­tral blood pres­sure. With «Antares», Red­wave offers a prod­uct that will make this opti­mal ther­apy broadly available.
