The Series D also included a previously unannounced investment of $45m in February last year, along with this latest funding.

The latest investment comes after the company received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its smartphone-powered, at-home kidney test called Minuteful Kidney. With the approval, Minuteful Kidney became the first and only smartphone-powered at-home kidney test approved by the FDA.

Healthy.io CEO and founder Yonatan Adiri said: “By reducing barriers to essential diagnostic tests, Minuteful Kidney can reduce healthcare costs, create clinical value for providers and help prevent patients of all socioeconomic backgrounds avoid costly and disruptive kidney disease treatments.

“In the process, we can make health care more accessible and equitable while providing a game-changing solution to one the biggest cost drivers in healthcare.
