NeuroBell hopes to nab US clearance for its AI neonatal monitor Luna this year.

Cork medtech NeuroBell has raised $5.5m in a round led by Elkstone to support the US push for its AI neonatal brain monitor. Not-for-profit Parkview Health, Furthr, Atlantic Bridge, Medtech Syndicate and Enterprise Ireland (EI) supported the raise.

NeuroBell co-founder and CEO Mark O’Sullivan nabbed last year’s EI High-Potential Start-up (HPSU) Founder of the Year title.

He founded the University College Cork spin-out in 2023 alongside Dr Alison O’Shea and Colm Murphy, following nearly a decade of academic research into newborn brain health and AI-powered diagnostics.
