Neura said its technology can be used to enable smarter healthcare, cars, music services and homes by computing a constantly updating portrait of user behaviour patterns. It provides insights about users' past and present actions and predictions about what they will do next.

Neura's technology is 'a big step towards a world where devices not only connect to each other, but adapt themselves to users and their habits,' Peter Hortensius, Lenovo's chief technology officer, said on Monday.

Neura is a service that works as a standalone app and can be integrated into other apps or devices. The company, which is based in San Francisco with research and development in Israel, said it will use the funds to expand its business reach.
