Healthtech platform FutureCure Health on Monday said it has racked up Series A funding of $4 million (Rs 30.4 crore) from a clutch of investors including Kotak Investment Advisors Limited (KIAL), Unicorn India Ventures and RVCF India Growth Fund, among others.

The startup plans to use the fresh money to develop technologies for diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases, FDA approvals and expand global footprint.

“FutureCure is developing cutting-edge technologies to diagnose and treat chronic diseases like migraine, dizziness and others. It plans to launch various technologies for migraine patients, including wearable Neuromodulation and Biofeedback device.

In addition, the Digital Therapeutics app will help identify the triggers using AI and help manage lifestyle changes. The interactive app will also provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),” said Rajneesh Bhandari, Co-Founder at FutureCure Health

Anita Bhandari added, “Migraine affects over 12% of the global population. The incidence is much higher than diabetes or cardiac disease, especially in the age group of 20 to 50 years, which are the most productive years of a person's life.”

"Futurecure's model, coupling AI technology with a strong clinic network, is a market leader in providing on-demand migraine and dizziness diagnostic and treatment services and changing the way for millions of patients across the world. We look forward to working closely with the management team," said Gaurav Chowdhry, Vice President, RVCF India Growth Fund.

"Inaccurate diagnosis and treatment for ailments such as dizziness and Migraine is problem faced by both developing and developed parts of the world. Innovation done by FutureCure team falls under breakthrough category in the field of neuro sciences,”said Dhiraj Rajendran of KIAL.
