About ViCentra

Worldwide, over 30 million people with diabetes are insulin dependent. This means they need insulin to manage their blood glucose levels. They can either give themselves multiple daily injections, or use an insulin pump, which administers insulin on a continuous basis all around the clock.

At ViCentra, we’re on a mission to design an insulin pump that delivers not just a best-in-class performance, but also gives our users an experience that empowers and excites them. Something a bit different from the usual medical experience!

It’s simple really: people with diabetes are people – not patients.

Our philosophy is all about simplicity, helping to carry some of the weight of day-to-day diabetes management for the user, adding a splash of colour and a whole lot of freedom! Kaleido is one of the smallest insulin pumps in the world. We have 10 colour combos, from bright and joyful to sleek and chic. We want our users to wear their Kaleido proudly. Its size makes Kaleido discreet and easy to wear, so Kaleidoers can forget about diabetes (for a while, at least!) and focus on what truly matters - living their life on their own terms!

ViCentra was founded in 2013 in the Netherlands, and while we still call Utrecht our home, we’ve now branched out to France and Germany, too. We're gearing up to spread our magic even further, with concrete plans to extend across Europe in 2024. We are CE marked, with in-house development and manufacturing, a state-of-the-art HQ, and a diverse and energetic team hailing from over 30 countries worldwide! We’re backed by heavyweight investors like EQT, INKEF, Invest-NL, Partners in Equity, and Health Innovations, all helping us to launch our rocket ship journey and forge a steady course.

We’d love you to travel with us.
