Seluna

Seluna is a Scottish health technology startup focused on transforming the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric sleep disorders, particularly obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children. The company develops advanced medical software that leverages custom machine-learning algorithms to analyze data from hospital sleep studies. This approach enables clinicians to diagnose sleep disorders in children more rapidly, accurately, and cost-effectively than traditional methods.

OSA is a growing concern, especially among obese children, with up to 60% affected in this group and overall incidence rising annually. Delays in diagnosis can lead to severe, long-term health consequences, including chronic heart, brain, and hormonal conditions. Seluna’s technology streamlines the diagnostic process, supporting clinicians in triaging patients, allocating clinical resources, and managing waiting lists. By automating data analysis, Seluna reduces the burden on healthcare professionals, allowing them to focus on cases that require their expertise and alleviating pressure on overstretched departments.

The company’s innovative solutions have earned it recognition as the only Scottish participant in the InnovateUK Global Incubator Program for AI and the winner of the Scottish Graduate StartUp of the Year at the StartUp Awards. Seluna is committed to improving outcomes for children, families, and healthcare systems by delivering efficient diagnostics and supporting preventative healthcare.
