New York – October 22nd, 2025 – roclub, the teleoperation platform for medical technology, today announces it has raised USD 11.7 million to fuel its continued US expansion. The Series A round was led by Smedvig Ventures and YZR, with participation from existing investor Speedinvest and angel investors.

roclub’s teleoperation technology is redefining how healthcare providers operate medical equipment – starting in radiology with MRI and CT scanners and shortly expanding to other healthcare segments. This comes amid an acute shortage of medical technologists in the US. roclub’s cloud- and AI-based platform enables teleoperation of any medtech equipment from any vendor, allowing technologists from remote locations to manage multiple machines simultaneously. This secures business continuity for any examination at any time, maximizes medical device utilization, and prevents costly equipment downtime.

The smartphone-sized roclub connector can connect to any medtech device with a monitor as a front-end, enabling remote access and control from anywhere and supporting direct video and audio communication between on-site teams, remote operators and patients. By reimagining medtech operations with AI support, roclub helps healthcare providers reduce patient wait times and improve care outcomes, while giving technologists the flexibility of hybrid work without the need to be physically present.
Co-founders, Dr. Matthias Issing and André Glardon launched roclub after running a large chain of diagnostic centres in Europe, where they directly suffered from the shortage of technologists and subsequent issue of equipment lying idle. Having made significant inroads in Europe, the founders turned to the US market and its unique pain points that roclub’s solution solves. In addition to the US’s unequal distribution of healthcare professionals and overall skills shortages, the central role of reimbursements in the country’s healthcare model puts massive pressure on providers to increase efficiency while maintaining the highest quality standards. The roclub platform helps to achieve a better medtech utilization while driving better patient outcomes.

Joshua Seyler, President, roclub Americas said, "Amid rising labor costs and critical skills shortages, U.S. healthcare providers are embracing innovative medtech solutions to optimize operations and meet the rising demand for radiology procedures. roclub, the world’s only dedicated remote, vendor-agnostic platform company, is proud to bring our transformative solution to the U.S. market. Through our user friendly platform and exclusive remote staffing marketplace, roclub empowers providers to access top expertise and deliver exceptional, high-quality care to every patient, every time."
