Digital Gait Labs is excited to announce a major milestone in its journey, having successfully raised €625,000 in its latest funding round. As an innovative Irish health technology company specializing in AI-powered gait analysis, Digital Gait Labs continues to lead the way in digital health by harnessing advanced artificial intelligence and augmented reality through its groundbreaking mobile application, GaitKeeper. Originally developed as a spin-out from Dublin City University, GaitKeeper seamlessly captures clinically-relevant gait metrics from a simple smartphone video, eliminating the reliance on wearable devices or specialized equipment. This funding is a testament to the company’s commitment to revolutionize gait assessments across diverse healthcare settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, and patients’ homes.
The newly raised capital is earmarked for further research and development, aiming to refine and expand GaitKeeper’s capabilities while ensuring its accessibility to a broader range of healthcare providers. In collaboration with prominent institutions such as Tallaght University Hospital and the Insight SFI Research Centre for Data Analytics, Digital Gait Labs has already achieved clinical validation and recognition, including winning the prestigious Medtronic and UPMC Innovation Award at the 2022 Future Health Summit. These accomplishments underscore the potential of GaitKeeper to clinically detect early signs of health decline among older adults and patients undergoing rehabilitation, making it an indispensable tool in proactive healthcare management.
This infusion of funds positions Digital Gait Labs to accelerate growth, enhance product features, and expand its market footprint. By investing in further innovation, the company is set to transform gait assessment practices and drive superior clinical outcomes, reinforcing its role as a pioneer in health technology and AI-driven solutions.
