ReThink Medical, a leading data-driven heart failure medical device and digital health company, announced today a Series A investment of $3 million led by medical device equity firm Emergent Medical Partners (EMP). EMP will lead the round with additional funds coming from investors Norwich Ventures and Launch Capital. This is in addition to the two National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants that were awarded to ReThink Medical and a strategic partnership with the Japanese medical device company, Terumo Corporation. The financing will be used to fund ReThink Medical's clinical trials and for further investment in its proprietary technology platform. Bob Brownell, managing director at EMP, will join ReThink Medical's board of directors.

ReThink Medical uses predictive physiologic data to prevent hospitalizations for heart failure patients. By monitoring and analyzing data from patients in an ambulatory setting, ReThink's proprietary algorithms can predict worsening conditions and alert physicians to take data-driven proactive measures for their patients. This prescriptive action can change the trajectory of heart failure patients and thereby eliminate a potential hospitalization.

"Emergent is extremely experienced in terms of bringing innovative ideas to fruition within the medical arena and we are excited to be aligned with them and our other investors to fundamentally enrich patient care using technology," said Reza Naima, CEO of ReThink Medical. "We are thankful to have a partner on board that provides us not only capital but also vast strategic experience in our market."

Norwich Venture's Founder and Managing Director Aaron Sandoski added "It's clear that ReThink Medical's proactive approach and technology will help drive down costs, improve quality of life, and create better outcomes for patients and health care providers in a field craving innovative solutions."
