Pragmatech, an Oviedo-based Spanish healthtech startup focused on AI solutions for pharmacology, microbiology and infectious diseases, has raised €650,000 in fresh funding to accelerate the commercial rollout of its CE-marked AI antibiotic prescribing software, iAST® - the first AI-powered clinical decision support tool for antibiotic prescription to receive CE certification. The company, founded in 2021, says iAST® has been clinically proven to reduce antibiotic prescribing errors and recommend treatments with lower resistance potential, addressing the growing global challenge of antimicrobial resistance while improving patient outcomes and healthcare system sustainability. The €650K funding round was led by First Drop VC, which contributed €300,000, with participation from Urriellu Ventures investing €175,000. The round also includes a €180,000 loan from ENISA (Empresa Nacional de Innovación) and the conversion of €162,500 in convertible notes from a previous round into equity a mix of private and public backing that strengthens Pragmatech’s runway for commercial deployment. The capital will be used to roll out iAST® across hospitals and healthcare providers throughout Europe, refine product features and support broader adoption by clinicians seeking reliable AI decision support tools. Pragmatech operates a B2B model targeting hospitals and healthcare systems, leveraging artificial intelligence to analyse clinical and microbiological data in real time to optimise antibiotic selection. Co-CEO Javier Fernández emphasised that this funding enables Pragmatech to bring its technology to the clinicians and institutions that need it most, while co-CEO and CTO Pablo Valledor highlighted the importance of continuing product development to ensure that AI enhances clinical decision-making safely and effectively. #Pragmatech #HealthTech #AIinHealthcare #AntibioticResistance #ClinicalAI #CECertification #StartupFunding #MedTech #DigitalHealth #B2BHealthTech #Innovation #HealthcareAI #EUStartups #ClinicalDecisionSupport
