Zurich, Switzerland
Piavita is a Swiss medtech startup founded in 2016 with the slogan "Transforming Veterinary Care." The company aims to revolutionize veterinary medicine by offering the Piavita-System, which utilizes state-of-the-art sensor technologies for the easy and precise measurement of vital signs in horses. This includes Electrocardiography (ECG), Pulse Sequence & Heart Rate, Respiration Sequence & Rate, Body Core Temperature, and Activity Level & Patterns.
The system functions wirelessly, non-invasively, and through the fur of the horse, which eliminates the need for complex manual and costly procedures. This innovative approach opens up new possibilities for veterinarians to examine and monitor horses, significantly impacting the veterinary care industry.
Piavita's target clientele includes veterinarians from animal practices and clinics treating horses, with future plans to expand its customer base to include breeders and riders. The company has received substantial support from the Swiss government (Commission for Technology and Innovation - CTI) and has developed the Piavita-System in close cooperation with the Animal Clinic of the University of Zurich.
Notably, Piavita secured a grant investment of Fr.550.00K on 01 November 2020. The company operates within the industries of Analytics, B2B, Health Care, IT, SaaS, Autonomous, and Sensor Tech with its headquarters in Switzerland.
