Over 10 million people are living with Parkinson’s , yet each and every one of them experience different symptoms and respond to treatment differently. Orbit Health’s flagship solution ‘Neptune’ helps maximize symptom control for Parkinson’s patients. It harnesses the power of AI and utilizes only a smartwatch to enable personalized treatment, which is pressingly needed in ongoing Parkinson’s care.

“The future of healthcare is digital, especially in the rapidly growing chronic disease space. This is why MTE focuses on investing in promising MedTech and digital health startups and setting them up for success with our tremendous industry expertise and extensive network,” said Dominik Moll, Managing Partner of MTE. “We are excited to invest in Orbit. With their strong team, a clear focus, and excellent product-market fit, Orbit not only strengthens our portfolio, but also enhances our capacity to support high-potential HealthTech startups with their mission to transform healthcare.”

To further deliver comprehensive patient insights and address the increasing threat of multiple chronic diseases, Orbit is enriching its solution by bringing together hundreds of relevant health and wellness data points including insights from common monitoring solutions such as blood pressure monitoring systems and glucose meters from siloed environments and integrating them with medical-grade, clinically validated digital health tools. The aim is to streamline the adoption and orchestration of novel digital health solutions and integrate them into the routine clinical workflows to achieve holistic patient care and real impact.

“We are excited to further strengthen Orbit with MTE’s support and be part of their vibrant ecosystem. ‘Neptune’ is a great example of how chronic diseases can be managed and in the future. It not only offers healthcare professionals the necessary insights to effectively personalize treatments and deliver timely interventions, but it also empowers patients to take better control of their conditions and to live life confidently,” said Patty Lee, CEO & Co-founder of Orbit Health. “We see remote personalized care powered by digital health and biomarker solutions as a way forward for chronic care because every patient is different, and a 24/7 condition deserves a 24/7 solution.”

“At least one in three adults has more than one chronic disease. Physicians are currently relying on only a snapshot of information to make treatment decisions. This makes the personalization of long-term care a huge challenge,” said Werner Boeing, former CIO of Roche Diagnostics and currently CEO & Co-founder of Evisory and Orbit Health advisor. “Digital biomarker solutions like Orbit’s Neptune can be the new pillar of diagnostics to address chronic disease burden and the ever-changing healthcare demand. I am extremely happy to see the progress Orbit has made thus far and look forward to continue to support them in their exciting journey ahead.”
