A health tech startup founded by Evanston, Ill.-based Northwestern University students has received $500,000 in pre-seed funding.
JupiterDX, a health data aggregation platform for chronic disease patients to track their symptoms, landed the investment from Drive Capital. It was started by students Alex Bahram and Mason Secky-Koebel.
"Patients struggling with chronic illnesses have to handle so much information from so many different places," Mr. Bahram, the CEO, said in a Jan. 10 university news release. "With JupiterDX, we are hoping to make that journey easier by creating one central location for all healthcare data, from doctor visits to smartwatch data, and drive more informed decisions from that data."
JupiterDX participated in the Matter healthcare startup accelerator as well as Northwestern's The Garage innovation incubator. A beta version of the app launches in February.
