Proceeds from the financing will accelerate R&D and product development.

Adaptyx Biosciences continues to reinforce its fiscal base with $14 million in seed financing, bringing its total funding to $23 million since 2022 inception. The round was led by Interlagos, with significant participation from Overwater Ventures, and joined by Starbloom Capital, Stanford University, the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub, Hyperlink Ventures, Cantos Ventures, Humba Ventures, and Seaside Ventures.
Adaptyx’s biowearable platform redefines continuous health monitoring, moving beyond glucose to capture a much wider range of human biochemistry—including small molecules, electrolytes, hormones, drugs, and proteins— making visible what has long been hidden between lab visits. By pairing continuous molecular sensing with artificial intelligence (AI)-powered analytics, the platform transforms these data streams into actionable insights, enabling earlier detection of health trends and timely interventions before issues escalate.
“Healthcare suffers from a data deficit,” Adaptyx Co-Founder/CEO Vijit Sabnis, Ph.D., stated. “Lab tests are only snapshots of health and don’t capture the body’s changing physiology, leaving blind spots that prevent addressing many of today’s health challenges. Adaptyx gives patients and clinicians a continuous view of what’s happening inside the body, transforming previously unseen molecular signals into empowering insights. Our mission is to expand continuous monitoring beyond glucose to include the many molecules that drive human health, creating a rich data pipeline that guides patients and clinicians to make the best decisions at the right time. We’re starting with life-saving clinical applications and will ultimately bring this capability to everyone.”
At the core of Adaptyx’s proprietary technology are programmable molecular switches—laboratory-made DNA bioreceptors designed to bind target molecules with high sensitivity and specificity. Upon analyte recognition, they undergo a predictable and reversible structural change, enabling continuous, precise tracking of diverse biomarkers and establishing a new class of modular biosensors that extends beyond currently marketed continuous glucose monitors, according to the company.
Adaptyx’s Molecular Switch Foundry accelerates biosensor development by integrating automated molecular design, parallelized screening, and AI‑driven optimization to compress development timelines from years to weeks. “Each new switch generates structured datasets that make the system smarter and faster, rapidly expanding the analyte library and powering new applications,” Adaptyx Co-Founder/Chief Science Officer Alex Yoshikawa, Ph.D., commented. The company aims to add hundreds of biomolecules to its continuous monitoring capabilities and establish a foundational molecular data platform needed for personalized medicine.
“Adaptyx’s technical expertise in the science of molecular sensing is the bedrock of the business. Engineering a novel device to sense biological datasets fundamentally transforms the way we will measure and deliver healthcare.” Interlagos Capital Founder/CEO and Adaptyx board member Achal Upadhyaya said.
Applications in development include:
“After 17 years developing this technology in academia, we’re ready to bring continuous molecular monitoring from the lab to real patients,” Adaptyx Co-Founder/Scientific Advisor Professor H. Tom Soh, said. “The ability to continuously track multiple biomarkers simultaneously is a breakthrough that will transform how we understand human health and improve care for everyone.”
Proceeds from the financing will accelerate R&D and product development, expand the molecular switch pipeline, and support on-going clinical trials towards the company’s first application. Adaptyx will also scale its team across engineering, data science, and clinical operations.
“Adaptyx is exactly the kind of category-defining innovation healthcare has been waiting for. This team isn’t chasing incremental change—they’re re-architecting how we observe physiology, continuously and at scale,” Overwater Ventures Founder/General Partner Kristina Simmons stated. “By delivering multi-analyte molecular data in a wearable format, Adaptyx turns monitoring into a living layer of care rather than a periodic event. That step-change sets a new bar for what technology can do for patients and clinicians.”
Adaptyx is building on more than a decade of innovation at Stanford University and the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub by Soh and Professor Joseph M. DeSimone. The company holds an exclusive license to the intellectual property from this research. Adaptyx’s continuous monitoring technology is investigational and not yet available for sale.
Adaptyx is pioneering a programmable biowearable platform for continuous, multi-analyte molecular monitoring through a small wearable patch. At the core of Adaptyx’s technology are synthetic DNA-based molecular switches that enable continuous, lab-grade molecular sensing. This sensing capability powers the patch’s ability to collect and stream continuous biochemical data, supporting earlier interventions and more precise, AI-assisted care across both clinical and everyday health applications. Based in Menlo Park, Calif., the company is pursuing U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance for clinical applications initially, with plans to expand into broader health and wellness markets.
