Minze Health raises US$ 5.3 million in funding to develop Prescription Digital Therapeutics and Drive Commercialization in the US Market

Minze Health, a pioneer in digital health solutions for urology, has successfully secured US$ 5.3 million in a funding round led by its existing investors White Fund, Capricorn Digital Growth Fund, and PMV. The funding round also saw the participation of a new investor, imec.istart future fund, marking a significant step forward for the company’s growth and innovation.
The proceeds will be used to further develop and bring to market Prescription Digital Therapeutic (PDT) solutions for patients with urinary dysfunctions with an initial focus on Germany and France, as well as to drive US market entry with Minze’s at home diagnostic solutions
Minze Health’s solutions for patients with urinary dysfunction and incontinence have been used by over 160,000 patients worldwide and are trusted by clinicians in 20+ countries. With a range of Digital Diagnostics, Remote Patient Monitoring and Digital Therapeutics products, Minze Health is the leading digital health player in the urology market.
The proceeds of the funding round will be utilized to drive utilization of Minze Health’s Homeflow and Diary Pod products in the US. Homeflow is an at-home uroflowmetry system of which the use can be charged under recently introduced Category III CPT billing codes. These reimbursement codes offer a significant opportunity to serve patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and similar conditions. Home uroflowmetry provides substantial benefits for managing BPH, which affects over 14 million men in the United States. By enabling patients to monitor urinary flow at home, this non-invasive solution gives clinicians continuous data to develop personalized treatment plans. It reduces the need for frequent clinic visits and empowers patients to manage their symptoms more effectively, allowing for earlier detection and timely interventions.
To implement its ambitious plans in the US, Minze Health is pleased to announce the appointment of Drew Moore as Vice President Marketing & Sales. With more than 20 years of experience successfully bringing innovative digital healthcare and medical device products to market, particularly in the urology sector, Drew's leadership will be instrumental in Minze Health's growth. His expertise and experience will play a key role in establishing Minze Health's US office and building a strong team to support the company's growth and market presence in the coming months.
Additionally, Minze Health plans to utilize the funds to bring to market Prescription Digital Therapeutic (PDT) solutions (app-based treatments) for patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), with an initial focus on Germany and France, taking advantage of the DIGA and PECAN reimbursement schemes. Prescription Digital Therapeutics represent a rapidly expanding market, driven by advances in technology and the increasing need for personalized, non-invasive treatment options. These digital therapies, which are clinically validated and delivered via mobile apps, are gaining momentum across a variety of medical fields. Urological conditions such as lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) or overactive bladder are particularly well-suited for PDTs, as these therapies can address not only the physiological aspects of the conditions but also lifestyle and behavioral factors through cognitive interventions. By empowering patients to manage their symptoms remotely and efficiently, PDTs have the potential to transform the treatment landscape for urological disorders, offering an innovative approach that improves patient outcomes while reducing healthcare costs.
