JawBuddy GmbH has raised $916K in pre-seed funding to build out a digital therapeutic app for jaw pain, teeth grinding and TMJ disorders. The round drew a long list of backers: HALBZEIT, Dr. Siegfried Marquardt, Dr. Guido Sigron, Christophe Barriolade, Aldrich Huang, Jens Kosche, Marc Scheidegger, Mittelständische Beteiligungsgesellschaft Sachsen (MBG) and Sächsische Aufbaubank.
The app pairs personalized exercise plans with AR-guided jaw tracking and relaxation techniques designed by dentists and physiotherapists. JawBuddy also runs a ZPP-certified prevention course for stress reduction and is developing a medical device version, JawBuddy Therapy.
