Kypha, startup looking to monitor inflammation quickly and accurately, raises $2.1M

Managing inflammation is critical for many conditions – Lupus being a major one.

 

Medical device company Kypha has raised $2.1 million in a debt offering to further it’s work in managing inflammation. With just one drop of blood, Kypha’s test works much like a diabetes test. Within just a few minutes, the test assigns a numeric value to indicate a potential condition.
