Healthsense Inc. is looking to raise $6.8 million from the sale of equity and warrants, according to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The company, based in Mendota Heights, Minnesota, makes remote home monitoring technologies for the elderly. Healthsense will use the money to fund working capital and development of new versions of its core eNeighborhood products, CEO Terry Barck said.
The eNeighborhood platform uses Wi-Fi technology to do everything from alerting nurses in case of emergencies to collecting real-time patient data like weight, blood pressure and blood oxygen levels.
