Dozee, Zimyo raise early-stage funds

Turtle Shell Technologies, which operates remote health monitoring startup Dozee, has secured around $1.7 million (Rs 12.5 crore) in equity capital from Prime Venture Partners, Yournest Venture Capital and 3one4 Capital.

Bengaluru based Dozee will use the capital for market outreach, product development and applying for global certifications, according to a statement. 

Founded in 2015 by IIT alumni Mudit Dandwate and Gaurav Parchani, Dozee uses a contactless sensor placed under the mattress to capture real-time vitals of the patient. The sensor measures heart rate, respiration rate, oxygen saturation and other parameters while the early warning system converts these signals to analyse patient health which can be viewed on a smartphone app.

Dozee can be used by hospitals and retail users. The product was developed in partnership with NIMHANS (National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro-Sciences) and Sri Jayadeva Institute in Bengaluru apart from other leading hospitals. It is currently being deployed by 30 healthcare institutions including 20 Covid-19 quarantine centres across eight states, the company said.
