Positrigo, a Swiss company focused on nuclear medical devices for brain imaging, has closed a new financing round of 7 million CHF. This oversubscribed round strengthens its shareholders with lead investor HealthCap and Navivo, alongside existing shareholders and family offices.
The funds will support production and accelerate the commercialization of the NeuroLF system—a groundbreaking brain Positron Emission Tomography (PET) device that has received market clearance in the US and EU.
“We are excited to partner with an established firm like HealthCap, which validates the substantial business opportunity ahead,” said CEO Jannis Fischer. “The NeuroLF system diagnoses brain disorders, particularly Alzheimer’s disease (AD), which makes up about 70% of dementia cases in those over 60. Currently, over 55 million people live with dementia, with projections reaching 150 million AD cases by 2050. This investment will help make brain PET imaging more accessible.”
Max Odlander from HealthCap will join Positrigo’s board to provide support.
