§ Private Profile · Dresden, Sachsen, Germany
MedTech startup developing non-invasive medical prosthetics using AI and radar for speech restoration in voiceless patients.
Based in Dresden, Germany, Altavo develops non-invasive medical prosthetics that utilize radar sensing and artificial intelligence to restore natural-sounding speech for voiceless patients. The company's core technology detects silent articulation movements in the neck and throat, translating them into synthesized voices for individuals recovering from laryngectomies or requiring mechanical ventilation. The medical technology startup has secured significant venture capital to advance its clinical trials, including a €5 million Series A round led by OCCIDENT and a €3 million Series A2 financing co-led by Novalis Biotech and High-Tech Gründerfonds. Operating with a team of 16 employees across two locations, the firm has also received a €2.5 million grant from the European Innovation Council and partners with TU Dresden for speech technology research. Altavo was founded in 2021 by Rudolf von Bünau, Timo Stich, and Martin Laabs.
