Septentrion Finance has advised on IDP Santé’s €600,000 fundraising round
10/07/2023
IDP Santé, founded in 2018 in Angers, develops innovative technological tools in collaboration with the Borelli Center (ENS Paris Saclay) aimed at delaying as much as possible the onset of dependency in monitored individuals.
Based partly on the research of American scientist Lynda Fried, the Smart Predict solution rigorously quantifies the frailty criteria defined by her to assess an individual’s resilience. Additionally, the solution measures patients’ static balance, gait, motor and oculomotor control, and anticipates fall risks.
Smart Predict is an objective diagnostic aid that provides healthcare professionals with reliable data to support their patients.
Currently, Smart Predict is used as part of the Pragi’Lab program (sponsored by Carsat Hauts-de-France), which aims to develop more effective aging prevention policies in the region.
Smart Predict won the Digital Innovation Award in the medico-social sector during the 2022 e-Health Talents annual competition organized by the French Ministry’s Digital Health Delegation and the Digital Health Agency (Talents de la e-santé: 11 winners committed to accelerating digital health were rewarded | Agence du Numérique en Santé).
To accelerate its development in France and internationally (Portugal, Switzerland, Canada, etc.), Serge Le Faucheur (President of IDP Santé) mandated Septentrion Finance to organize and execute a €600,000 fundraising round with Business Angels.
Serge Le Faucheur (President of IDP Santé): "The fundraising completed this year will enable IDP Santé to accelerate the deployment of Smart Predict in France with our partner CompuGroup Medical, as well as abroad (Portugal and Canada are already underway). I am delighted to welcome new shareholders to my company and thank them for their trust."
Philippe Douste-Blazy (former French Minister of Health): "The changing age pyramid in Western populations forces us to profoundly rethink our approach to healthcare. Prevention must become systematic. The tool developed by IDP Santé seems to me to perfectly meet this necessity. Indeed, the rapid identification of early signs of pre-frailty will enable caregivers to implement individualized programs for each patient."
