The creators of  [Onera Health](https://www.onerahealth.com/)  modestly call their brainchild the future of sleep medicine. The purpose of the application is to analyze and gradually improve sleep quality.

[One in five](https://www.sleephealth.org/sleep-health/the-state-of-sleephealth-in-america/#:~:text=At%20least%2025%20million%20Americans,least%2010%20percent%20of%20Americans.)  people struggles with sleep. The odds of being sleep deprived (less than 6 hours a night for adults)  [has increased significantly](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/278027485_Perceived_insufficient_rest_or_sleep_among_adults_-_United_States_2008)  over the past 30 years as digital technology has firmly become part of our lifestyles and blurred the line between home and work.  [National data](https://databank.worldbank.org/databases/national-data)  shows that poor sleep health is a common problem, with 25 percent of US adults reporting insufficient sleep or rest at least 15 out of every 30 days.

The Covid-19 pandemic has made the problem of sleeping disorders even more critical. The  [post-covid sleeplessness and insomnia](https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/health/covid-19-pandemic-sleeplessness-insomnia-stress-experts-7400486/)  were included in the list of factors increasing the likelihood of depression.

Onera is an at-home medical-grade sleep diagnostic patch system that helps monitor sleeping and the body's condition during the night. It's accurate, comfortable, wireless, intuitive, and as simple in use as possible. It singles it out among other digital health startups to watch related to sleeping problems. The system's main benefit is replacing some intimidating examinations and lab tests with its functions.

Awards and achievements confirm Onera's success. This year alone, it raised €10.5 million in Series B funding, was recognized with Frost & Sullivan Award, won two Red Dot Awards 2021, and received a € 2.5 million EIC grant to transform sleep medicine post-pandemic remote monitoring.

![Oura enables consumers to wear comfortable, non-invasive, and affordable devices which provide real-time data on their health](https://www.techmagic.co/blog/content/images/2022/03/Healthcare-Startups-4.png)

[Oura](https://ouraring.com/)  is one of the promising Finnish public health startups, most widely known for the Oura Ring — a small wearable device the user places on their finger. It uses sensors to provide real-time health insights. The infrared technology monitors temperature and blood flow, calories burnt, and heart rate. The ring connects to the mobile app, so all the data is conveniently visualized and explained.

The ability to measure critical health data remotely — away from hospitals and doctors — is a significant advance for health systems. Such data increases convenience for users and means conditions can be detected earlier, which improves outcomes and protects vital centralized healthcare resources.

Gadgets created by  [Fitbit](https://www.fitbit.com/global/us/home)  and  [Garmin](https://www.garmin.com/en-US/)  have hugely impacted the sports and well-being markets. Oura enables consumers to wear comfortable, non-invasive, and affordable devices which provide real-time data on their health, solving a whole range of problems all at once.

The breast cancer screening process is vulnerable to human error; the recall rates are high, and a  [shortage of radiologists](https://www.aidoc.com/blog/is-radiologist-shortage-real/)  becomes more noticeable. Kheiron has developed and introduced MIA ([Mammography Intelligent Assessment](https://www.nhsx.nhs.uk/ai-lab/explore-all-resources/understand-ai/mia-mammography-intelligent-assessment/#:~:text=Mia%E2%84%A2%2C%20or%20mammography%20intelligent,mammograms%20for%20breast%20cancer%20screening.&text=Currently%20in%20the%20NHS%20(and,opinion%20blind%20to%20the%20first.)) to help doctors spot cancer in mammography scans.

Last year, this project won the UK Government's first  [AI in Health and Care Awards](https://www.nhsx.nhs.uk/ai-lab/ai-lab-programmes/ai-health-and-care-award/)  and received a share of £ 50 million to roll out MIA at selected NHS hospitals.

## ComeBack Mobility (Ukraine)

![ComeBack Mobility is a system of nozzles and a mobile app that helps to recover after leg injuries.](https://www.techmagic.co/blog/content/images/2022/03/Healthcare-Startups-8.png)

[ComeBack Mobility](https://comebackmobility.com/)  is a system of smart nozzles with sensors for crutches, specific pads, and a mobile app to help people recover faster after leg injuries. The gadget reads the load level and helps control it while walking.

ComeBack Mobility measures the weight that user puts on crutches. Then it transmits the data to the smartphone app, which analyzes the pace of recovery and in real-time tells you how to regulate the load on the injured leg. The device is designed for approximately 850 hours of active use — up to 1 million steps or 760 km.

The physician sets the parameters of the recommended loads and pace in the app. In the course of recovery, they may vary, and smart nozzles will speak if you go too fast or too slow. According to tests with patients, following the instructions can reduce the rehabilitation period for patients after major surgeries to six weeks.

![ComeBack Mobility CEO and founder Ilya Popov](https://www.techmagic.co/blog/content/images/2022/03/Healthcare-Startups-9-4.png)

ComeBack Mobility also plans to release devices for rehabilitation after hand injuries.

Comeback Mobility has already become one of the most promising medical startups in Europe and entered the US market. Its founders speak of its development as a need to improve solutions for inclusive people.

## NAOMI (Croatia)

![NAOMI is a virtual mental health assistant. ](https://www.techmagic.co/blog/content/images/2022/03/Healthcare-Startups-10.png)

[NAOMI](https://naomi.health/en/home/)  is a virtual mental health assistant. It is worth mentioning, that mental health is one of the hottest subjects among healthcare technology startups in Europe. The same-name mobile app asks the user to choose the issue (stress, anxiety, anger, depression, etc.) and accompanies them to overcome it.

Mental health issues and conversations about them are still strongly stigmatized, so people who need to talk to a therapist don't do so to avoid condemnation. NAOMI is one hundred percent anonymous and collects information only by asking questions, analyzing answers, and making recommendations.

Besides, it includes numerous techniques to improve and maintain well-being based on cognitive-behavioral therapy. If required, NAOMI can connect the user with a certified psychotherapist.

[For businesses](https://naomi.health/en/for-business/), NAOMI offers its services to work with a lack of employee motivation, burnout, and unproductive work.

## Bottneuro (Switzerland)  

[Bottneuro](https://bottneuro.ch/wp/technology)  is a Swiss startup that offers a non-invasive neuromodulation therapy for Alzheimer's disease. Bottneuro collects patient data to identify regions of interest for electrical stimulation using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans. Then, it uses computer simulations to optimize the stimulation of affected regions and is delivered through wearables. As a result, the startup's therapies stabilize patient behavior and slow down cognitive decline.

![Bottneuro is a Swiss startup that offers a non-invasive neuromodulation therapy for Alzheimer's disease.](https://www.techmagic.co/blog/content/images/2022/03/Healthcare-Startups-12-6.png)

Bottneuro creators plan to start with clinical trials in 2022 and obtain the CE mark in 2024. Annual costs generated by AD patients in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) were about € 40 billion for 2021. These numbers are increasing due to an aging society and Buttneuro has good chances to take hold in a list of the best health tech companies in Europe.
