Japan-based health data software developer SmartScan has received ¥1.13bn ($10.4m) in a series A round featuring clinical testing services provider Miraca Holdings and DG Incubation, a subsidiary of internet company Digital Garage.
Keihanna ATR, a VC fund sponsored by telecommunications firm KDDI and electrical component maker Sumitomo Electric, also participated, as did VC firms Scrum Ventures and Cyberdyne, the latter with its CEJ (Cybernics Excellence Japan) Capital subsidiary.
Founded in 2017, SmartScan is developing a wellness data platform that can store and analyse data from patients’ electronic healthcare records, and which will enable clinics to share data from patient’s cerebral and cardiopulmonary imaging scans.
DG Incubation has also invested in other healthcare deals in recent months, including consumer blood testing service provider Healthians’ $11.8m series B round and remote worker-focused health insurance provider SafetyWing’s $3.5m seed funding.
