Neteera is focused on bridging the gap between the analog and digital worlds by enabling seamless, continuous, and contact-free monitoring of human vital signs.

Neteera’s micro-radar-on-chip and proprietary algorithms can detect microscopic skin motions through clothing. This takes place at a very high frequency, allowing for noninvasive, seamless, continuous monitoring of human vital signs such as heart and respiration rates, heart rate variability, inhale–exhale ratio, and tidal volume, and many more features under development.

The company’s technology is non-vision-based (camera-free) and the company ensures that all information obtained is completely anonymized, providing ultimate privacy. Collected data is stored in the Neteera HIPAA- and GDPR-compliant cloud for further analysis, EMR/EHR integration, and future decision support mechanisms.

Neteera’s technology is is clinically validated with an FDA 510(k) Class I exemption and a 510(k) Class II planned in 2021. The company is globally recognized as disruptive and innovative and was ranked 9th out of 1,350 companies in CNBC’s 2020 Disruptor 50 list.
