Medpoint, the medical injury product and diagnostic startup, has formally launched its €400,000 seed funding round to EIIS investors.

The funding will go towards ramping up its sales and marketing plans with the aim of doubling turnover over the next two years.  The company is also growing its staff number, and plans to have 10 people employed by the end of 2023.

Medpoint sources and distributes a range of healthcare and diagnostic products for its customer base of doctors, physiotherapists, nursing homes, chiropractors, pharmacies, and professional sporting organisations.

Founder and CEO Neil Brown said that there is a significant and growing demand in the healthcare market of injury management, ergonomics, exercise, rehabilitation and near-patient testing.

“Of particular interest to Medpoint is the ergonomic and clinical equipment market, where the company sees significant opportunities to specialise in neck pain products,” he said. “Many studies over the years have pointed to an annual prevalence rate in the population of between 30% and 50%, with women reporting higher statistically.”
