Sweden-founded and London-headquartered health tech startup offering remote patient monitoring solutions to hospitals, Doccla has raised £15 million to develop a tech stack that facilitates the integration of its patient monitoring solutions with more medical devices.
The round was led by General Catalyst, with participation from funds managed by healthcare investors KHP Ventures and existing investors Giant Ventures and Speedinvest.
Founded in Sweden in 2019 by Martin Ratz and Dag Larsson, Doccla’s virtual ward technology enables the early discharge of patients while remaining under the care of clinicians, but also reduces the need for patients with long-term or chronic health conditions to visit hospitals in the first place.
This in turn minimizes NHS costs and workload pressures.
Launched in the U.K. during the pandemic, Doccla has experienced extraordinary growth. According to the company, the platform is present in 20% of all Integrated Care Systems (ICS) in the U.K., with patient intake from 20+ hospitals.
The startup plans to develop a tech stack that facilitates the integration of its patient monitoring solutions with more medical devices and electronic healthcare record systems, data analytics, and AI and expands clinical capacity and availability to meet the increasing demand for virtual hospitals that alleviate pressures on healthcare systems.
The company also anticipates forthcoming expansion to new European markets and segments.
