- Superhlth
Participated · Equity · Jan 2026
Superhlth develops an eponymous mobile platform that centralizes multiple streams of personal health information—including PDF blood test results, step counts, sleep metrics from wearables, and nutrition logs—into one coherent dashboard. A proprietary “predictive health AI” algorithm then links the fragmented inputs to generate clear, personalized insights on overall wellbeing. The core team, formed last year and coming from elite sports backgrounds, brings experience working with Olympic athletes and professional teams and aims to transfer those high-performance learnings to everyday users. The basic version of the app is free, while advanced analytics are available through a €15 per month subscription. By integrating diverse medical and lifestyle data sets, Superhlth positions itself as a transparent and responsible AI player within Europe’s healthcare ecosystem. The company plans to leverage its recent funding to expand the platform’s feature set and reach a broader consumer audience. To date, it has secured €500,000 in external financing from business angels.
