FutureCure Health, a healthtech startup, has raised nearly $4 million in a Series A round led by RVCF India Growth Fund, Unicorn India Ventures, and Kotak Investment Advisors, among other investors.

Founded by Rajneesh Bhandari and his wife Dr Anita Bhandari, FutureCure aims to provide super-speciality healthcare services by using cutting-edge emerging technologies under the NeuroEquilibrium brand.

“FutureCure plans to launch various technologies for migraine patients, including wearable neuromodulation and biofeedback device,” Rajneesh said in a press release, adding that it has scaled its services to diagnose and treat chronic ailments like migraine and dizziness.

“Migraine affects over 12 percent of the global population,” said Dr Anita, an ENT surgeon and neurotologist. “The incidence is much higher than diabetes or cardiac disease, especially in the age group of 20 years to 50 years, which are the most productive years of a person’s life. Technological interventions by FutureCure will help millions of patients manage their Migraine and other chronic diseases.”
