Rock Health has opened an office on the East Coast, and announced 3 local investments.
1DocWay
1DocWay (NYC) enables hospitals to deliver telemedicine services to underserved patient populations, namely 80 million Americans living in rural communities with limited access to local psychiatric professionals. Currently, the company is focused on telepsychiatry, which has proven as effective for mental disorders as face-to-face treatments. To date, 1DocWay has facilitated over 18,000 digital patient sessions, with an impressive 85% of patients returning for follow-up visits.
Arsenal Health
Founded out of the MIT Hacking Medicine conference, Boston-based Arsenal Health has developed an analytics tool called Smart Scheduling that helps physician practices optimize bookings by using data to predict cancellations and no-shows. The company has analyzed millions of data points about patients from athenahealth to better predict behavior. One of their happy customers, Steward Medical Group, is able to see 100 more patients every week by using the service.
Caeden
Caeden, based in the New York City, is taking an orthogonal approach to the wearables market, focusing first on creating an iconic fashion brand, and next on embedding the latest biosensors into their product line. Their 2014 holiday launch was covered by The New York Times, and they were featured in Vogue’s April issue on wearables. Caeden’s first product will be launched this summer.
These three startups join Rock’s existing portfolio companies located on the East Coast, including Aptible (NYC), Cardiio (Boston), Docphin (NYC), Kit Check (DC), Neumitra (Boston), Podimetrics (Boston), Reify Health (Boston), and Wellframe (Boston).
