Luna Health secured $23.6M Series A funding, led by Vensana Capital, to advance Luna, the 'world's smallest' insulin patch pump.

This device, paired with a closed-loop dosing algorithm, targets Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes patients using insulin pens. Luna delivers automated rapid-acting during , where over 80% of glucose improvement from traditional pumps occurs. Its low-profile, iCGM-compatible, low-cost design reduces complexity and barriers, making automated insulin delivery accessible without 24/7 pump wear.

The funding will accelerate regulatory submissions, clinical studies, manufacturing, and market access, aiming to solve nighttime glucose control for millions of pen users and expand automated insulin delivery's reach.

"Luna solves a decades-long challenge, bringing automation's benefits to injection users," stated Justin Klein, MD, JD, Vensana Capital's co-founder and Managing Partner. "Luna's platform will fundamentally expand automated insulin delivery and improve outcomes for people with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes."

GN Hearing ANZ has launched the ReSound Enzo IA, the world’s smallest rechargeable hearing aid for severe to profound hearing loss.

Leveraging GN’s Organic Hearing philosophy, Enzo IA delivers superior sound quality, especially in noisy environments, without compromising size or battery life. Its 360 chip uses AI to adapt to different acoustic settings, reducing listening effort.

The Clear Focus beamformer enhances speech clarity, offering a 2.7 dB SNR improvement and 93% user preference in noise.

With 28 hours of battery life, Bluetooth LE Audio, Auracast, and compatibility with accessories like Multi-Mic+ and TV-Streamer+, Enzo IA empowers users to stay connected.

“We empower people with severe to profound hearing loss to access the sounds that matter most, participate confidently in conversations, and stay connected—without compromising on size or battery life,” says Peter Justesen, President of GN’s Hearing division.

Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC reported a 6% revenue increase to $1.658 billion for H1 2025, driven by strong growth in , where it remains the second largest pharma company by sales, and robust performance in Injectables, which grew 12%.

The Group expanded its pipeline with seven new partnerships, including an exclusive MENA licensing deal for rucaparib.

In North America, new launches and the Xellia Pharmaceuticals acquisition boosted results, while Europe saw strong demand, especially in France.

The Branded business grew 4%, led by chronic therapies and oncology. Hikma Rx revenue declined 1% as expected, with inhalation products offsetting price erosion. The Group expects full-year revenue growth of 4–6%.

“Our strategic changes are delivering results, with strong revenue growth and solid momentum in the first half of 2025. Although core operating profit was lower due to last year’s strong performance and product mix, we expect growth to return in the second half and reaffirm our full-year guidance. Demand is robust, new products are launching, and we’re advancing our pipeline and R&D. We are well-positioned for continued growth.” – Riad Mishlawi, CEO

Ultromics has raised $55M in Series C funding led by L&G – Asset Management, Allegis Capital and Lightrock, with support from Oxford Science Enterprises, GV (Google Ventures) and major U.S. health systems.

Ultromics’ FDA-cleared, Medicare-reimbursed EchoGo® platform uses to detect elusive heart conditions like HFpEF and cardiac amyloidosis from standard echocardiograms, improving early diagnosis without new hardware or workflow disruption.

EchoGo® has a**lyzed over 430,000 scans, boosting HFpEF detection by 73.6% in studies. With growing adoption at top hospitals, Ultromics aims to make AI diagnostics standard in cardiac care.

“Hospitals have the data, but lacked tools to extract subtle diagnostic signals. With AI, we help clinicians spot high-risk patients earlier so they can intervene sooner,” said Ross Upton, PhD, CEO and Founder of Ultromics. “We built our platform to fit seamlessly into clinical workflows, and this funding lets us scale across the U.S. as health systems tackle the heart failure crisis.”

“Ultromics is an early leader in AI-powered cardiac diagnostics, bringing innovative technology to an underserved market,” said Alastair Stewart, Head of Investments at L&G. “This Series C round shows the huge potential for technology to transform how clinicians detect and treat serious heart diseases.”

“Heart failure and cardiac amyloidosis strain healthcare systems and demand scalable, accurate diagnostic solutions,” said Umur Hursever, Partner at Lightrock. “Ultromics’ AI technology is already improving diagnosis and expanding access to care. We’re proud to support their mission and impact.”

“Millions with treatable heart failure are missed due to subtle symptoms and hard-to-read echoes,” said Victor Westerlind, Managing Director at Allegis Capital. “Ultromics closes this gap by using AI to help physicians spot high-risk patients sooner—a breakthrough that will save lives.”
