Otos Health

What Otos Health does

Otos Health is a healthcare technology company that provides an integrated hearing and cognitive health assessment platform designed to bring hearing diagnostics into primary and specialty care settings. Its flagship Otos Platform combines patient self-recorded digital otoscopy, automated hearing assessments, patient triage, and clinical workflow management into a single unified system that spans detection, diagnosis, intervention, and longitudinal monitoring. The company targets health systems, ENT and audiology practices, primary care providers, neurology departments, and longevity/concierge clinics, addressing a hearing care model that is fragmented, reactive, and difficult to scale, and explicitly links hearing loss to cognitive decline risk as a secondary use case.

The underlying product stack includes automated hearing assessments claimed to deliver 50% faster testing, a parallel test management system allowing one operator to handle three simultaneous tests, and triage logic that filters cases requiring further clinical evaluation. Clinical validation was conducted at Helsinki University Hospital in 2024, and a primary care pilot launched at Tikkurila Health Centre (Vantaa, Finland) in May 2025 as part of the CommuniCity project. Otos is a 2025 spinout from Aalto University; its research foundation is reinforced by peer-reviewed publications on digital otoscopy and otology diagnostics, and the company is preparing U.S. deployment via Academic IRB engagement.

Otos pursues an enterprise field sales motion targeting health systems and clinical practices, using 'Request Early Access' and 'Partner With Us' CTAs to engage prospects. The commercial model is a subscription/recurring platform offering to healthcare organizations, with specific pricing not publicly disclosed and negotiations handled on a quote basis. The leadership team combines deep clinical and commercial expertise: the CMO is an ENT/Otologist with 17+ years at HUS, the CTO is a PhD clinical engineer in audiology with 15+ years, the CEO brings medical device and startup scaling experience from Philips Medical Systems and Kavo Kerr Group, and the CCO adds 20+ years of healthcare commercial and M&A experience. The entity is Otos Health, Inc., incorporated in the U.S., with operational roots in Helsinki, Finland.
