Intuitive Investments Group plc (AIM: IIG) ("IIG" or the "Company"), a closed-end investment company focussed on the life sciences sector, announces an investment of GBP350,000 to acquire new ordinary shares in Altair Medical Ltd ("Altair"), representing a 6.55 per cent. interest in Altair's enlarged share capital, as part of a GBP2 million fundraising round.

Altair, which was incorporated in February 2018, is developing an innovative remote respiratory monitoring platform comprising a small, chest-worn biosensor and AI-driven data analysis/alerting software for the early detection, prediction and prevention of adverse events in respiratory patients, both in hospitals and at home.

The specially designed wireless biosensor is one of the smallest available, and transmits data to the cloud using a data hub or smartphone, alerting the patient, their household members, doctor, nurse or emergency services where life-threatening changes occur. Altair's technology will be able to accurately monitor large numbers of patients in any location at any time. Additional information relating to Altair can be found at: https://www.altairmedical.com/home.html.

Altair, per the company's accounts, achieved a loss after tax for the 12 months ended 30 April 2020 of GBP110,800 and, as at 30 April 2020, had net liabilities of GBP171,843.
