📢 A major regulatory milestone for our portfolio company, Shen AI.⁣
⁣
Shen AI’s SDK is now CE-certified as a Class IIa medical device under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), covering blood pressure, heart rate, heart rate variability and breathing rate.⁣
⁣
What makes this especially significant is the technology behind it: these measurements can be captured using nothing more than a smartphone camera. No wearable, no blood pressure cuff, no additional hardware. 📱⁣
⁣
Huge congratulations to Remi Koscielny, Przemek Jaworski and the entire team! 👏👏👏 Extremely proud!⁣
