Telehealth

Backed by e.ventures and Great Oaks Venture Capital, the company was started last year and has thus far managed to attract more than 20,000 users.

The program recognizes U.S. healthcare entities that provide real-time, online consultations directly to the patient that meet specific standards.

Using secure conferencing technology, patients can now manage their health, meet with physicians, and receive advice from Mount Sinai Health System experts.

During the two-year-long pilot, health care providers will assess and treat patients with select health conditions using video visits.

Existing seed investors Lux Capital and Montage Ventures participated in the round, as well as new investors Goodwater Capital and Summation Health Ventures.

The device enables remote device integration and monitoring for devices such as Glucometers, Vital Signs, Blood Pressure and Weight Scales.

The company says its approach is better as it removes a need for the user to find a quiet or private space just to chat with their doctor.

The agency's 2016 budget includes $1.2 billion that will specifically go toward telehealth efforts to connect rural and remote veterans with healthcare services.

The company offers a real-time on-demand therapy platform that connects people with licensed therapists anytime, anywhere.

The company was founded to give everyone access to doctors; it does so by providing patients with the opportunity to text a doctor before an actual visit.
