Czech medtech Kardi Ai raises €5.3M to advance predictive heart monitoring

Czech medtech startup Kardi Ai has raised €5.3 million in a Series A funding round led by German HealthTech VC fund Callisto Health, with participation from Česká spořitelna and Slovenská sporiteľňa through Seed Starter, alongside BrightCap Ventures, Purple Ventures, DEPO Ventures and Garage Angels. Kardi Ai develops a technology platform for long-term heart rhythm monitoring and the early detection of potential heart rhythm disorders. Its solution combines a fitness chest strap equipped with an electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor, a mobile application and AI-powered analysis of ECG recordings. Traditional cardiac examinations typically capture heart activity over a limited period, potentially missing irregularities that occur intermittently. Kardi Ai aims to address this limitation by enabling patients to monitor their heart rhythm during everyday activities, generating data that can help physicians identify potential problems and determine whether further medical attention is needed.
