Moveshelf closes seed investment to accelerate digital transformation of diagnosis and care for movement disorders – Utrecht Health Seed Fund
Summary
Severe movement disorders in particular, such as those associated with Osteoarthritis, Stroke, Cerebral palsy, and Parkinsons disease have a high societal, personal, and economic impact. Moveshelf, founded by Ignazio Aleo, PhD (CEO) and Per Slycke (Chairman), integrates movement analysis with clinical systems, providing a digital platform for decision support and objective and quantitative analysis of complex multi-modal datasets. This is a major milestone, and it will enable us to accelerate our plans and serve our rapidly growing number of clinical customers with our digital platform for movement analysis. Based on feedback that we receive from the clinicians that we work with, we are convinced that we can make a significant difference in patients lives.Jaap de Bruin, UHSFs Fund Manager commented: We are excited to join the journey of Moveshelf and its mission to facilitate movement digitization and diagnosis to improve outcomes for patient groups that face a complex set of disabling movement limitations. Locapes operates primarily from Utrecht, the Netherlands, Stockholm, Sweden and Palo Alto, California.
