Metyos Secures €2.3M to Pioneer CKD Biowearable
The startup aims to revolutionize chronic kidney disease management through real-time monitoring and remote patient care.
- Metyos, a Paris-based medtech startup, has raised €2.3 million in pre-seed funding to develop a biowearable device for monitoring chronic kidney disease (CKD).
- The wearable sensor, designed as an arm-worn patch, aims to provide real-time data on CKD biomarkers to both doctors and patients, facilitating remote disease management.
- Co-founded by Alexandre Boulanger and Olga Chashchina, Metyos focuses on improving health outcomes for CKD patients and reducing healthcare costs through remote biological monitoring.
- The startup targets regulatory approval by the end of 2025 and aims to initially focus on end-stage patients with hyperkalemia, with plans to extend its scope to earlier stage patients.
- Metyos distinguishes itself in the biowearable market with its focus on CKD, competing with startups like Biolinq, Alio, and Renalyse, but offering real-time data instead of relying on at-home blood draws.
