Zipnosis raises $17M Series A for its telehealth solution

Zipnosis

Zipnosis has raised a $17 million Series A financing round led by Safeguard Scientifics, with participation from Ascension Ventures, a subsidiary of Ascension, along with existing investors Fairview Health Services, Hyde Park Venture Partners, Arthur Ventures, Waterline Ventures and Omphalos Ventures. The company will use the funds to expand its sales and marketing efforts and to accelerate product development.

Zipnosis’ solution enables health systems to launch their own branded virtual care service line staffed with their own clinicians, thus maximizing the clinician’s time and ensuring clinically appropriate patient outcomes. With Zipnosis, health systems are guided through clinical, marketing, compliance and operations workflows to have their virtual care programs up and running in just 60 days. The white-labeled software integrates with electronic medical record systems and patient portals, allowing health systems to serve both existing and new patients. It is designed to mimic an in-person interaction between clinician and patient, gathering the necessary information for diagnosis and providing clinicians with appropriate treatment options, including the ability to e-prescribe medication that would be sent to the patient’s pharmacy of choice.

“Our platform is designed to enable health systems to expand access to immediate care using their own clinicians,” said Jon Pearce, co-founder and CEO of Zipnosis. “With Zipnosis, health systems have a unique opportunity to care for more patients under their own brand name and without adding staff. Patients are happier to be ‘seen’ sooner without having to step foot outside their home or go to a waiting room.”

Currently, Zipnosis offers virtual care for more than 90 conditions and is expanding into chronic care conditions. The company works with approximately 17 health system customers including Fairview Health Services, University of Alabama-Birmingham, Group Health, and John Muir Health.

In January 2015, we’ve seen Zipnosis raising funds from Fairview Health and then later on teaming-up with University of Alabama.
