About us
Seer is a Melbourne-based medtech company challenging the status quo of how healthcare is delivered. Through award-winning medical devices, mobile apps, and software solutions combined with an extensive research and development program, we are shifting patient care from the hospital to the home.
Our mission is to give people more control over their most valuable assets their health and their time. We do this by creating patient-centric medical products and services that transition hospital-based diagnostic testing into the home setting.
Seer recognises that healthcare doesn’t stop after testing. Research is at the heart of what we do at Seer, and we have been leading the charge in groundbreaking seizure cycle research to help the 30% of people with epilepsy who cannot control their seizures with medication. Such research has led to the development of world-first technology that could indicate when people might be more or less likely to have a seizure.
