MIT imaging spinout Lantos Technologies announced today that is has closed a $1.6 million Series A round of funding, led by Catalyst Health Ventures and joined by Excel Venture Management and Mass Medical Angels. Ryan wrote about part of the funding earlier this summer, but a filing with the SEC this week shows that Lantos has completed the first round financing. The money will go to developing a beta version of its device for 3D imaging and digital mapping of the human ear canal, which could better enable the design of custom-fit audio devices such as hearing aids and headphones.
