Kaspard secured €3.1M in a fresh round of funding backed by Finance&Invest.brussels, ScaleFund, and Theodorus IV.

Kaspard, a Brussels, Belgium-based developer of a non-intrusive system that provides real-time information to nurses in institutions secured €3.1M ($3.6M) in a fresh round of funding.

The money was raised from Finance&Invest.brussels, ScaleFund, and Theodorus IV, as well as from angel investors, Marcel Hermann and Emmanuel Caeymaex.

Marcel Hermann is the former owner of Medipôle, a group of private clinics in France, and Emmanuel Caeymaex, a private investor, is a member of the UCB Executive Committee in charge of Immunological Solutions in the US.

Kaspard, founded in 2017 by Philippe Kaplan, offers a small non-intrusive device placed discreetly in the ceiling of the resident’s room. Without using neither physical contact nor images, it detects falls and residents getting out of bed. In case of a problem, Kaspard sends an alarm in real-time to the nursing staff, who can intervene immediately in the resident’s room.
