We create integral consumer healthcare solutions comprised of portable electronic devices, Artificial Intelligence models, and user friendly software applications, which are used together to accurately identify different biomarkers –blood glucose levels, SpO2, heart rate, blood pressure, and more– and derive meaningful personalized prevention and wellness insights from the data. Our hardware uses advanced optical techniques such as Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR), Photoplethysmography (PPG), and Light Rotation (LR) to identify the spectral footprint of particular biochemical compounds in human tissue and volumetric variations of the blood. Such data is then analyzed by intelligent image processing algorithms that comprise Classical \u0026amp; Deep Learning models, which can determine the correct level of each biomarker. Finally, the results are displayed through user-friendly prevention applications that can also share personalized recommendations to increase overall wellness (for clinical and individual use).","story":"Viit Health is entering commercialization — and as we begin scaling, we’re giving the WeFunder community access to a private Pre-Series A opportunity with preferred terms and exciting special perks!Our mission is bold: reshape the future of healthcare by making prevention simple, personalized, and accessible — helping extend 1 million lives by 10 healthy years over the next decade.Viit has built a non-invasive health monitoring platform that combines a pocket-sized optical device, AI-powered analytics, and personalized insights. Using light instead of needles or consumables, Viit measures blood glucose, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, heart rate, and other key biomarkers in under 30 seconds.With fast, painless monitoring and real-time personalized insights, Viit is designed to help detect early signs of health risk before disease progresses — empowering people, clinicians, and organizations to act sooner and help people stay healthier for longer.Today’s healthcare system is not truly built around health — it is built around disease.Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders account for over 70% of deaths globally — claiming more than 40 million lives each year. Often symptomless in early stages, conditions like high blood pressure — affecting more than 1.2 billion people worldwide — or glucose-related dysfunction — estimated to impact half the world’s population — progress silently until disease becomes unavoidable.These threats, driven by sedentary lifestyles, poor nutrition, chronic stress, and inequitable access to healthcare, can lead to heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, and neurodegenerative conditions. The crisis isn’t just medical — it’s a failure of early detection and accessible prevention.Monitoring vital health markers like blood glucose, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation remains a slow, fragmented, and costly process—especially for those at risk of chronic disease. Individuals often need multiple separate devices, each requiring setup, calibration, and manual interpretation.Blood glucose tracking, for example, still relies on painful finger pricks or expensive continuous monitors that involve frequent sensor insertions—costing users up to $3,600 annually. For many, especially those already managing complications like neuropathy, these tools are not just uncomfortable—they are unsustainable. At the clinic level, conducting a full assessment of basic vitals can take up to 17 minutes and cost nearly $15 per patient. These inefficiencies not only drive up costs but discourage consistent monitoring, delay diagnosis, and ultimately make prevention inaccessible for millions.Viit Health uses light and AI to measure key health biomarkers in a fast, painless, and non-invasive way. In 30 seconds, our device can measure blood glucose, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, heart rate, and more — without finger pricks, consumables, or multiple devices.Traditional clinical measurements can take up to 17 minutes and cost more than $15 per patient. Viit can complete a measurement in seconds for as little as $0.20, reducing time by up to 97% and cost by up to 98%.Our proprietary, patent-pending technology combines multiple optical and sensing methods into a compact device, connected to AI-powered software for signal analysis, longitudinal tracking, and personalized insights. This integrated approach allows us to capture stronger physiological signals and deliver more accurate, actionable health insights than single-sensor or algorithm-first solutions.Instead of overwhelming users with too much data, Viit focuses on the insights that matter most. By combining high-quality signals, efficient hardware, and AI, we aim to make real-time health monitoring more accessible for individuals, clinics, companies, and public health programs.Over seven years of R\u0026amp;D and multiple generations of device innovation, Viit Health has refined its proprietary technology through extensive calibration, signal optimization, and clinical validation. Since 2018, we’ve collaborated with leading healthcare institutions in the U.S. and Mexico, deploying 5 clinical studies and validating our technology in over 3,900 individuals to date.With current results showing 3.4 BPM Mean Absolute Error (MAE) for heart rate, 0.9% MAE for SpO₂, 4.1 - 7.2 mmHg MAE for blood pressure, and 6.4 - 15.7 mg/dL MAE for blood glucose levels, we have closed the gap between non-invasive wellness monitoring and clinical-grade performance. Over the next 18 months, we will complete FDA regulatory approval as a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) aimed toward cardiometabolic risk observation.* Preliminary results in controlled clinical settings / 1) Mean Absolute Error / 2) Calculated against gold-standard references / 3) Latest preliminary results obtained through cross-sectional and OGTT clinical studies for a wide glycemic range (49 - 489 mg/dL).Our active clinical studies are in two of the largest hospitals in Mexico: Hospital General de México and Hospital Juárez de México.Prevention is the only sustainable way to reduce the burden of chronic disease. Yet today, large-scale screening remains slow, expensive, and fragmented, making it difficult for organizations to identify risk early and act before health problems become more serious.Viit Health is built for population-level clinical monitoring. Our Hardware \u0026amp; Software-as-a-Service model, starting at $550 per month, combines non-invasive measurement devices, monitoring software, healthy habits coaching, and clinical oversight into one scalable service. This enables employers, clinics, hospitals, public health programs, and institutional partners to monitor key cardiometabolic biomarkers across large groups over time.Rather than selling hardware alone, Viit delivers a complete monitoring platform that helps organizations track health trends, identify emerging risks, and support earlier preventive action. In parallel, we will also license our technology to strategic distribution partners, allowing Viit to scale through established commercial channels while expanding access to preventive health monitoring.By reducing the time, cost, and complexity of traditional screening, Viit makes prevention practical at scale.Viit Health is directly addressing a $780B+ global market opportunity driven by the shift toward personalized, preventive healthcare. With an initial focus on North and Latin America, we see a $338B total addressable market, a $119B serviceable available market, and a $2.97B near-term obtainable market based on targeted deployment for which there are already active conversations.More than 2 billion people are living with or at high risk of metabolic and cardiovascular conditions, often without consistent access to early detection or preventive monitoring. As existing tools remain inefficient, expensive, and hard to scale, Viit Health offers a timely alternative: accessible, non-invasive, real-time monitoring designed for everyday use and population-level impact.CROP marks Viit Health’s commercial activation.This November, we will launch a paid, multi-center Cardiometabolic Risk Observation Program (CROP) under the supervision of the Hospital General de México.Together with InBody and Daily Human, we are preparing to deploy 180 Viit Gen-4 units across corporate wellness initiatives, monitor 20,000+ people over 18 months, and generate approximately $3M in revenue.The program combines Viit’s fast, non-invasive biomarker monitoring with InBody’s body composition analysis and Daily Human’s AI-powered healthy habits coaching — creating a scalable model for prevention, early risk observation, and long-term behavior change.CROP is designed to show how Viit can bring prevention into real-world settings — helping organizations monitor cardiometabolic risk earlier, more frequently, and at scale.Leading health experts, scientists, and investors recognize the urgent need for better tools to detect and manage chronic disease risk. That’s why Viit Health has gained support from a growing network of partners — including top research institutions in Mexico and the U.S., global health investors, engineering firms, and entrepreneurship organizations. Together, we’re building one of the most promising breakthroughs in consumer health: a scalable, science-backed platform for prevention that’s ready for the real world.Viit Health is led by a rare combination of scientific expertise, financial acumen, and mission-driven entrepreneurship. Our team brings decades of experience across biotech, engineering, clinical research, and venture building — paired with a deep commitment to advancing public health through innovation. We’ve built and scaled startups, secured global partnerships, led cutting-edge research, and executed in both corporate and clinical environments. With a clear vision and a strong operational foundation, we’re committed to delivering measurable value for both our users and investors — while creating lasting impact in the fight against chronic disease.Following our initial CROP deployment and first commercial revenue, Viit Health plans to raise a $3M Series A to accelerate the next phase of growth.This round is expected to support regulatory execution, manufacturing scale-up, and preparation for broader commercial expansion. In January 2027, we will begin submissions with both the FDA and COFEPRIS as a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) for cardiometabolic risk observation, with approvals targeted by the end of 2027.As we move through the regulatory process, we also plan to expand CROP by 220 additional units by July 2027, strengthening our real-world dataset and commercial traction.By early 2028, Viit Health aims to begin broader expansion across the U.S. and Mexico, targeting pre-identified institutional channels for population-level monitoring. After 2028, we intend to expand across Latin America and add new biomarker capabilities such as oxidative stress, cholesterol, triglycerides, HbA1c, and other cardiometabolic markers.The world faces a growing health and economic crisis: non-communicable diseases account for the vast majority of deaths, despite being largely preventable. What’s missing isn’t treatment — it’s access to early detection and practical prevention. Viit Health’s mission is to change that. After years of research, validation, and strategic partnerships, we’re ready to scale a breakthrough solution that delivers real-time, non-invasive health monitoring to individuals, healthcare providers, and public systems alike — with a model built for meaningful impact and strong, sustainable profitability.This is a chance to be part of a global shift — toward smarter tools, healthier lives, and a more sustainable future.","location":"Mesa, United States","website":"https://www.viit.health","total_amount_raised":883381,"total_investors":910,"is_funded":false,"is_active":true,"quality_score":3,"related_urls":["https://wefunder.com/viit.health","https://www.viit.health"]},"media":{"share_image_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/custom_card_photo/91083/xxl_Viit_Health_1778721040608.jpg","logo_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/logo/91083/large_blob.png","header_media_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/91083/standard_blob.jpg","cover_photo_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/custom_card_photo/91083/large_Viit_Health_1778721040608.jpg","pitch_deck_url":"https://wefunder.com/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTc4NjY3NCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--3912bfebf8e8c977eba3caf0d22344a94525ca1c/Deck_Pre_Series_A_Comp.pdf","pitch_deck_filename":"Deck_Pre_Series_A_Comp.pdf"},"links":{"company_url":"https://www.viit.health","linkedin_url":"https://linkedin.com/company/viit-health/","facebook_url":"https://www.facebook.com/viit.health/","instagram_url":"https://www.instagram.com/viit.health/"},"highlights":[{"id":62781,"name":"venture_backed","url":"venturebacked","presentable_name":"VC-Backed","description":"Raised $250K or more from a venture firm","image_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/2021/profile-highlights-check.svg"}],"quick_facts":[{"index":1,"claim_id":"claim-fact-1","value":"Non-invasive AI platform measures 4+ biomarkers 97% faster and 98% cheaper than traditional tools"},{"index":2,"claim_id":"claim-fact-2","value":"Proprietary patent-pending technology measures Glucose, Blood Pressure, SpO2, Heart Rate, and more"},{"index":3,"claim_id":"claim-fact-3","value":"Validated in 3,900+ patients through 5 Clinical Trials with clinical-grade accuracy for all markers"},{"index":4,"claim_id":"claim-fact-4","value":"Potential to predict 27+ diseases and 19+ complications, such as diabetes, hypertension and more"},{"index":5,"claim_id":"claim-fact-5","value":"Paid pilot in deployment (Nov 2026): 180 units, 20K+ people, 18 months, $3M in projected revenue"},{"index":6,"claim_id":"claim-fact-6","value":"$2.3M raised from leading private investors. $3M in R\u0026amp;D grants awarded to background dev company"},{"index":7,"claim_id":"claim-fact-7","value":"Backed by leading US family office, two VCs, hospitals, public institutions \u0026amp; distribution partners"},{"index":8,"claim_id":"claim-fact-8","value":"Startup World Cup finalist, Draper Founder \u0026amp; Softeq alumni, Hello Tomorrow DeepTech Pioneer"}],"team":[{"id":1820234,"entity_id":"wefunder:company_role:1820234","user_entity_id":"wefunder:user:1466685","role":"founder","name":"Luis Fernando Gomez","title":"CEO","bio":"Serial entrepreneur and social activist.

It's a pleasure to meet you. 1 - As we move forward with validation protocols for Gluco 1.0, we've been improving our assertiveness and are currently working with a 10% error margin in lab tests, which we will work to improve further. Puncture glucometers currently have a ±20% error margin in glucose concentrations ≥75 mg/dl, since they must be compliant with ISO 15197:2003. 2 - To our knowledge, there are very few competitors developing similar devices but none have received FDA approval and thus have no commercial devices. Furthermore, their approaches to non-invasive glucose monitoring are different since they use reflectance through laser-pulses, prediction with hybrid testing (pricking for customized calibration) and graphene sensors (nano technology for molecule detection). Our device works with light transmittance, which allows us to have a full footprint of the analyzed tissue in order to eventually measure other substances such as triglycerides or cholesterol. We are currently in validation protocols which are expected to end by mid 2022, afterwards we will proceed for COFEPRIS (Mexico) approval by late 2022, which will allow us to start selling our devices. We will later move towards FDA approval, and we expect to be one of the first (if not the first) truly non-invasive glucometer to receive it. 3 - Our preferred exit strategy is acquisition. We believe it may be faster and more likely than an IPO because international pharmaceutical companies may take a heavy interest in our early progress. Both of them are viable in the next 10 years. 4 - Our valuation CAP was calculated by multiplying our projected EBITDA for 2024 (our second commercial year) by a factor of 5.5. I hope that these answers have provided sufficient clarity and that you can join our efforts to make health monitoring more accessible, painless and effective.

I'm glad we got a chance to connect again in this space and thank you for the encouraging words. 1) Of course, here are a few scientific publications that speak more about the technology and how it can be implemented: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-05570-8 https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/23/6/3319 https://pubs.aip.org/aip/adv/article/8/3/035216/22707/Determination-of-NIR-informative-wavebands-for https://www.news-medical.net/health/Photoplethysmography-(PPG).aspx 2.1) We transmit pulsated Near Infrared light of 3 different wavelengths (with a particular frequency) through a finger (ideally the ring finger) over a specific period of time (10 - 15 seconds) to identify the spectral footprint of each individual (at a specific time) and the volumetric variations of the sample. It's important to note that the way we analyze the data is by comparing the intensity of the incident light versus the resulting light (after it has passed through the finger). 2.2) We measure analytes in the whole sample (blood \u0026amp; tissue). 2.3) We use computer vision to analyze calibration protocol data (known values of venous glucose vs spectral footprints identified with our device) and create AI models that can learn to identify the presence of glucose (and other analytes) in the sample, identify correlations with other physiological variables, and accurately predict the amount of glucose present in the body after each measurement. I can share more information about our specific process with investors or prospective investors under an NDA. 3) The annual report was only sent to investors from the previous round (and it's also available for investors of the current round). We're pre-revenue, however, we currently have requests for 150 units to be delivered by the end of this year, and we expect to have sold many more by then. 4) The cost of Bioviit represents a massive cost reduction from available measurement methods (annually) for both individuals and institutions. We have received advice from insurance experts, however, our device will initially be sold as a wellness device to be used mainly for prevention, which will not contemplate a reimbursable expense for our first customers, but will save them a lot of money in prevention and timely detection.

If classified as a Class II device, we will indeed file a 510K application for FDA clearance. We estimate that the actual cost for the application process should range from $20K to $30K USD, however, we may very likely need to conduct analytical studies, as well as safety/feasibility and pivotal clinical trials which could cost between $2 M - $5M USD, given that the process for FDA approval will be supported by previous clearance from COFEPRIS in Mexico (National Sanitary Risk Institution). Our device should not need a PMA approval since it's not of high risk and the tech we use has improved greatly in the last few years.

It's a pleasure. 1) Our technology is currently protected by Industrial Secret and we have not yet filed for a patent. We use Near Infrared Spectroscopy and Computer Vision technology, which enabled us to devise a new way to understand the information that results of shedding light of specific wavelength through live tissue, and isolate certain chemical components such as glucose, after training our AI algorithms to identify specific energy footprints. We may file for a patent later on but it will depend on our technology protection strategy. 2/3) Our device has achieved constant results of ≥90% assertiveness in clinical trials, while regular puncture glucometers usually show a ±20% error margin (80% assertiveness) given the amount of blood tested (one drop) and other factors. We cover a larger area of observation (a finger) without having to draw any blood. I hope I was able to answer your questions correctly. Please let me know if you wish to talk further. Hopefully you can help us achieve our goal of accessible and painless glucose monitoring!

The activation price for each device at all levels will be $ 250 USD, and the monthly fees will vary according to the selected amount of glucose readings per month (subscription), which could average $30 USD for individual detection, $50 USD for clinical detection, and $100 USD for prevention (since it's thought to mainly be placed in mid-to-large companies for massive prevention campaigns). 2. Yes. Our current devices used for all calibration, validation and certification protocols work with a built in power cord, but our commercial devices will work with built in chargeable batteries. 3. The current device is 10 x 16 cm. We will strive to make our commercial devices even smaller. 4. No, our devices will not need maintenance. However, they will require eventual software updates and may need initial calibration according to its selected setting (clinical or individual). I hope I was able to answer your questions correctly, please let me know if you wish me to elaborate in any of them. Hopefully you can join our team and help us bring Gluco 1.0 to the shelves!

Could you share the specificity and sensitivity of Gluco 1.0 compared to existing \"gold standard\" diagnostics (which I assume are the puncture-based methods you referenced)...","answer":"Dear Kenneth, Thanks for reaching out! It's a pleasure to meet you. 1 - As we move forward with validation protocols for Gluco 1.0, we've been improving our assertiveness and are currently working with a 10% error margin in lab tests, which we will work to improve further. Puncture glucometers currently have a ±20% error margin in glucose concentrations ≥75 mg/dl, since they must be compliant with ISO 15197:2003. 2 - To our knowledge, there are very few competitors developing similar devices ..."},{"question":"Truly appreciate your detailed response, Luis!
