Startup Funding Alert: AI tech startup Inspektlabs raises $600,000 in pre-Series A funding from Better Capital, Titan Capital - YourStory


Inspection AI technology startup Inspektlabs has raised $600,000 in a pre-Series A round led by Better Capital, Titan Capital — the investment office of Snapdeal founders Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal, and a cluster of angel investors.

Inspektlabs builds computer vision products for physical asset inspections using photos and videos. It is currently automating car inspections for global motor insurance and automotive players.

Founded by Devesh Trivedi (CEO) and Sanchit (CPO) in 2019, the #AI tech startup allows firms to perform damage assessment, claim estimation, asset valuation, and fraud detection of physical assets using photos or videos. Customers can capture a 360 degrees video of any asset (such as a car) using a smartphone, and within seconds, Inspektlabs#API reverts with an inspection report.

They are disrupting the current process of inspection, which is manual, slow, and ripe with fraud. The startup has so far inspected 100,000 cars in Japan, the UK, and India. Recently, Inspektlabs has launched a new inspection product to ensure hygiene within cars as well.

Technology: Scientists develop stamp-sized, wearable device that can record body temperature and blood oxygen levels to monitor Covid-19


Researchers have developed a stamp-sized device, comprising a suite of sensors, including ones , an advance that can be used to catch early signs and symptoms of COVID-19, and help monitor patients as the illness progresses.

The scientists, including John A. Rogers from Northwestern University in the US, said they have tested the novel device on more than 50 physicians, rehabilitation specialists, and patients at the country's Shirley Ryan AbilityLab and at the Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

According to an editorial, published in the journal Science Advances, the sticker-like medical device, which is of the size of a postage stamp, is soft, flexible, and sits just below the suprasternal notch - the visible dip at the base of the throat.

"As you cough and breathe, it counts coughs, monitors the intensity of cough and senses laboured breathing. The location on the throat also is close enough to the carotid artery that it can measure mechanical signatures of blood flow, monitoring heart rate," he added.

Eventually, they believe the self-learning algorithms will become smart enough to distinguish between a COVID-like cough and more benign coughs from allergies, colds or dryness.
