Overview

1. Executive Summary (Confidence: High)

The transition from Aktiia to Hilo in May 2025 marks a new era for the company, following a successful $42 million Series B funding round that brought total investment to over $100 million.[39] Hilo has achieved what was previously considered the "holy grail" of vascular monitoring: FDA 510(k) clearance for the first-ever cuffless blood pressure monitor for over-the-counter (OTC) use in the United States.[42] With 130,000 devices sold and a database of 12 billion data points, the company is moving from a hardware-centric model to a "Blood Pressure Intelligence Platform".[39] The 2026 strategy focuses on a massive US market entry and the integration of holistic lifestyle markers like sleep and movement to offer users a "lifelong cardiovascular companion".[26]
