Volta Medical, a pioneering health technology company developing artificial intelligence (AI) solutions to assist electrophysiologist physicians in treating complex cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation (AF), today announced €36 million in new Series B funding, bringing the total capital raised to over €70 million.
The funding round was led by U.S.-based Vensana Capital with co-investment from Lightstone Ventures and existing investor Gilde Healthcare. The funding will help accelerate new product development, support additional clinical trials, prepare for full-scale US commercialization, and pursue further regulatory approvals. The company’s lead product, VOLTA VX1, is the first commercially available AI decision-support software to help guide physicians with identification and real-time annotation of unique abnormalities (so called “dispersed electrograms“) on 3D anatomical and electrical maps of the heart. This technology ultimately may lead to optimized catheter-ablation procedures for complex arrhythmias, including persistent AF.
