U-Care is a project spun out from Politecnico di Torino that is trying to solve a problem called Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). It occurs due to a systemic critical illness, occurring in about 50% of patients within the Intensive Care Units (ICU). AKI leads to a ten-fold increase of mortality rate and 3 B€ of healthcare costs per year in Italy. The problem is that today it is not possible to detect AKI before it happens, thus limiting its prevention. To solve this problem, U-Care is an innovative medical device that predicts AKI 24 hours before its onset, working as a Digital Biomarker. Combining Artificial Intelligence Algorithms with innovative sensors, U-Care helps the doctor in preventing AKI, saving patient's lives and reducing healthcare costs. We got a Pre-Seed investment from Vertis sgr (Venture Factory) in January 2020.Currently looking for a Seed-Round investment.
