The medical technology company roclub has raised $11.7 million in a Series A round. Smedvig Ventures and YZR Capital led the investment. The funding will help the company expand into the United States and further develop its platform.
roclub provides a system for the remote operation of medical equipment. Its technology allows qualified technologists to securely control devices like MRI and CT scanners from any location. The platform is vendor-agnostic, meaning it integrates with scanners from any manufacturer. This helps hospitals and imaging centers manage staffing shortages and geographic barriers.
A smartphone-sized connector attaches to any monitored medtech device. This enables remote control and supports direct video and audio communication between staff and patients.
By allowing one technologist to operate multiple machines across different sites, the system improves device use and reduces operating costs.
The company was founded in 2022 and currently operates in 11 countries. roclub will use the new capital to build a marketplace that connects healthcare organizations with remote technologists.
