Trusera is an online health network where you can find and share information
What Company Is Offering:
Trusera is an online health network where you can find and share information and insights from others who have been there. Anyone can search the site and view the stories and videos. Become a member (it’s easy and free), and you can ask questions and talk with others who are going through exactly what you are. Because no one “gets it” unless it’s happened to them.

GuidedMed is a guided health and medical information search engine
What Company Is Offering:
GuidedMed is a guided health and medical information search engine. It is not a medical diagnosis or decision making tool. Its goal is to make health and medical information easily accessible to facilitate people's daily lives.
How It Works:
Initially, you are shown a short symptom list containing commonly encountered symptoms. If you cannot find your symptom on the list, you can click the "more symptoms" link according to your affected body region to see a more comprehensive symptom list.
From the symptom list, you select one or more symptoms describing your health situation. Then by clicking the button entitled "Next step to find information about selected symptoms," you will reach zero or more pages asking questions related to your selected symptoms.
After answering all questions posed by our system, you will reach a page listing possible causes of your selected symptoms. All of these causes are ranked by a medical expert system using medical textbook sources and publicly available information. For each such cause, its link takes you to a Web page describing it. Moreover, if you click the corresponding "More pages" button, you can reach additional Web pages describing the cause.
At any time, if you have made incorrect selections, do not know which symptoms to select, or cannot answer a question, you can click the red "guided help" link located near the bottom left of the page to invoke our help function. You will be prompted to describe your health situation. Then by clicking the "Find relevance of unselected symptoms and alternate responses" button, you will see two lists containing our help information, one for relevance of unselected symptoms and the other for relevance of alternate responses (to your selections). The contents of these lists are ranked by our system using medical information retrieval techniques.

These services and products are currently in infectious diseases, oncology and pharmacogenetics areas with emerging interests in cardiovascular and metabolic disease.
Lab21's clinical reference laboratory and corporate office is based in Cambridge, UK and the Company's investors include Merlin Biosciences and Kreos Capital
How Much They Got From VCs:
Lab21, a specialist diagnostic services and products healthcare company is pleased to announce that it has closed a £2.2m round of financing from leading international private equity investors. The new funds will be used to progress its acquisition plan and to establish its US operations in South Carolina to expand its presence in the North American market.
Graham Mullis, CEO of Lab21 commented: “Given the very difficult financial markets of the past 6 months, I am delighted to welcome two new investors to Lab21 which is a significant endorsement to the growth strategy of Lab21. With new capital, we anticipate closing a number of company acquisitions. This investment will also allow Lab21 to commence its expansion plans overseas where we believe our brand and strong focus on quality and service will be well received”.
Nexus Medical Partners, based in Boston and South Carolina, USA and Rowan Dartington of the UK join Merlin Biosciences and Kreos capital as shareholders. Maddy Kennedy, CFO Lab21 explained: “I am pleased to be working with investors who understand healthcare markets and diagnostics specifically. Merlin Biosciences, now part of the Excalibur Group have continued to support Lab21 and advised the Company with this finance round. We are also delighted that Dr Ed Snape, who is co-founder and head of the healthcare practice at Nexus Medical Partners has agreed to join the Board of Lab21”
Dr Snape commented: “I am pleased to accept the Board position at Lab21 and support the establishment of its South Carolina operations to facilitate its entry into the US market. The diagnostic market is changing rapidly and Lab21 is well placed with its management and product portfolio to be a serious consolidator in the sector. Lab21’s business model which combines the technology and distribution capabilities of both a service provider and product developer makes for an exciting investment opportunity.”
Jonathan Beatson-Hird, Managing Director of Rowan Dartington and also fund manager for the Isambard Fund, said: “Our strategy has been to build our investment portfolio around three sectors, one of which is the In vitro diagnostics market. This is a dynamic industry displaying strong defensive characteristics. We are delighted to be able to invest in Lab 21 which is a core holding for us. We believe that the current economic environment is ideal for the corporate strategy of consolidation and with their state of the art products and services makes the company well positioned for growth in these uncertain times.”
The Company will not reveal details of its acquisition plans and US market strategy today but expects to complete on two European company acquisitions during H1 next year.
