Link Health Technology (Link), a Cape Town-based e-health startup, has received R5 million ($350k) in investment funding from an unnamed investor.
Link, a healtech startup founded in 2017 by biomedical engineering duo Daniel Rimbault and Abrie Coertze, has created a unique software that provides a 360 view of a patient’s status and condition, extending beyond biological indicators to include both psychological and social health.

“Link, was inspired by Abrie’s battle with cancer, and the inadequacies he experienced first-hand in the healthcare system. Abrie worked on some of the core design concepts of the system as he was recovering, and with the hope of making the idea behind Link a reality, Abrie went back to specialize in Biomedical engineering at UCT. That is where Abrie and I met, with the same drive to bring the idea to a reality. Since then we have been consumed with the goal to build a tool for patients to take an active role in their healthcare journey and in parallel to redefine the dataset that informs their and their clinicians’ understanding of their health state. This is done by incorporating the biopsychosocial model,” said Daniel Rimbault.
