Launchpad Digital Health announced a follow-on investment in Amicomed. The Swiss startup has developed a fully digital consumer hypertension lifestyle modification program. 

Launchpad Digital Health, the leading U.S. seed investor and mentor in digital health, closed a busy third quarter of 2017 by leading new seed round funding for 8 new top-tier early-stage companies. In addition, Launchpad Digital Health closed more follow-on investments in Stop Breathe & Think, Tueo Health and Amicomed. After the first three years, 85% of the Launchpad Digital Health companies are successfully completing substantial follow-on venture rounds, corporate strategic investments and/or partnerships on schedule, after building sustainable businesses and achieving substantial milestones to warrant this next major step.

"Our momentum continues to build, and we've just closed our largest group of new digital health companies yet. They are each changing the face of health, some from the inside and others outside of the existing healthcare system. No doubt, this next group of great co-founding teams will see the kind of rapid progress that our portfolio companies have achieved thus far," said Fred Toney, CEO & Co-Founder of Launchpad Digital Health.

Amicomed is an innovative service that empowers people to master their blood pressure, thereby also increasing the quality of physicians’ care. It combines blood pressure monitoring with a fully automated and highly personalized lifestyle intervention. Amicomed’s first results in Europe were striking – namely, adherence of over 70% with a mean blood pressure reduction (sys) up to 20mmHg in only three months. Results have been presented to the American College of Cardiology (ACC) in Chicago, American Society of Hypertension (ASH) in New York, at London King’s Fund, and to the International Society of Hypertension in Seoul.
