Build Technology That Transforms Healthcare

About us

At Seer, we believe technology can transform healthcare for the better. We design and build neurological monitoring devices that reimagine how and where care is delivered, putting patients first and enabling clinicians to act faster with better data.

By making home-based neurological monitoring accessible at scale, we are helping to relieve pressure on overburdened healthcare systems, accelerate diagnosis and treatment, and support better outcomes for people living with epilepsy and other neurological conditions.

Headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, our team includes over 20 engineers working across hardware, software and data science to push the boundaries of what is possible in medtech.
