The company's technology combines wearable motor symptom-sensing and a deep brain stimulation (DBS) platform into a single integrated system.

The new capital was provided by Pentland Group, and funds affiliated with Summit Partners and Sands Capital Ventures.

The company will use the capital to further expand in India and other markets in the region including Malaysia, where it already provides services in 4 cities.

The company has produced the first ECG-sensing textile garment that is a true, clinically tested, FDA-cleared medical device.

The offering consists of a small donut-shaped smart tracker that comes in two colors (white and black), and a wide selection of bands and straps.

The Chernin Group led the round which also saw celebrities like Jessica Alba, Cash Warren, Jared Leto and Ryan Seacrest participating.
