Hilo (aktiia SA)

Aktiia was founded in Switzerland in May 2018 to create the best tool for diagnosis and treatment of hypertension. Aktiia’s founders, Mattia Bertschi (CEO) and Josep Solà (CTO), previously contributed to research and development at CSEM, a prestigious Swiss research institute. For 15 years they worked day in and day out to understand the language of our heart signals and decode key markers to gain better insight into blood pressure. They built an incredible team of 14 employees and founded Aktiia to turn their years of pioneering work into a useful tool for people around the globe. Aktiia’s technology combines common optical sensors and proprietary clinically tested algorithms to measure blood pressure at the wrist.
