Capsula

What Capsula does

Capsula S.r.l. is an Italian digital health company founded in 2019 in Milan that operates a phygital (physical-plus-digital) health ecosystem centred on self-service Health Pod kiosks and the Digital Me digital twin platform. The Health Pod integrates certified medical devices and biometric sensors into a single unattended station that measures cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, and physical parameters, including bioelectrical impedance analysis for body composition, single-lead ECG with heart-rate variability, advanced glycation end-products for cellular aging assessment, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, heart and respiratory rate, and self-reported questionnaires on stress, sleep, and activity. A full assessment takes roughly five minutes and is performed autonomously by the user; results are delivered through the Digital Me web application, which functions as a longitudinal digital twin aggregating measurements over time and is supported by a non-diagnostic Symptom Checker, an Anamnestic Questionnaire, telemedicine booking, and QR-code integration. An Epidemiological Dashboard supplies aggregated, anonymised population-level insights to enterprise partners.

The platform is ISO 13485 certified for medical-device quality management and is GDPR compliant. Capsula was co-founded by biomedical engineer and CEO Alessandro Nizardo Chailly, Politecnico di Milano Professor Giuseppe Andreoni (who serves as scientific director), and Gima Spa, an established Italian medical-device manufacturer that provides regulatory and supply-chain expertise. The company pursues a B2B enterprise sales motion targeting corporate wellbeing programmes, smart-city initiatives, clinics and hospitals, large-scale retail locations, and public administrations, supplemented by product-led adoption at self-service sites. Revenue is generated through usage-based per-session fees, recurring B2B platform subscriptions, and transaction fees on telemedicine and healthcare-professional bookings, although no published pricing exists.

As of 2024 Capsula reports operations in seven countries (Greece, Ireland, Italy, South Africa, Switzerland, Turkey, and the UAE), approximately 500,000 cumulative health assessments, and corporate-deployment usage rates above 80%. Headcount is between 11 and 50 employees and total disclosed funding is approximately $720K across three rounds with no venture-capital, private-equity, or institutional investors on the cap table. Named partners include Intesa Sanpaolo, Enel, A2A, Toyota, Lavazza, PwC, TIM, Reale Mutua, Aon, Cerba Healthcare, and Mediclinic.
