Smart infusion therapy monitoring device manufacturer Monidor secures 1M € in funding from Voima Ventures as the lead investor of the round. 

Finnish medical tech company, Monidor, has finished its latest investment round, receiving 1M € from the deep tech fund Voima Ventures and Innovestor. Prior to the current round, Monidor has been backed up by Butterfly Ventures and private investors.

Monidor’s mission is to help clinicians in their work and improve patient safety with easy-to-use solutions.  The company develops integrated smart solutions for intravenous therapy given in hospitals, bringing efficiency and accuracy into patient care. The company launched its first product  Monidrop® in February 2020 and is now receiving the funding to respond to the urgent need for safe patient monitoring solutions raised by Covid-19. Moreover, the funding is directed to support the future growth of the company.

The  Covid-19  pandemic has resulted in increased demand for safe patient care solutions like  Monidrop®.

‘We received a lot of contacts from distributors all over Europe as hospitals needing help quickly equipping their new hospital wards dedicated for  Covid-19  patients,’ explains  Jan Prokofjeff, Monidor’s Sales Director.

The pandemic has also pushed the company to create such a straightforward installation process that every nurse will be able to do the set up easily. This allows Monidor to distribute its product effortlessly even with the Covid-19 pandemic limiting social connections and travelling.

Monidor CEO, Mikko Savola, estimates the total market size for infusion devices to be 10B $ in Europe, US and Japan.

‘The population is ageing and living standards are on a rise in Asia. The Infusion therapy market is continuously growing,’ Savola continues.

‘Monitor’s growth continues in the UK, Netherlands and DACH area. Finland has world’s leading health technology expertise  and Monidor is a great example of a startup that has a unique and commercialisable solution for a  global problem – patient safety and work balance of the nursing staff,’ says Jussi Sainiemi, Partner of Voima Ventures.
