On-demand doctor house call service provider Heal has raised $5 million in seed funding led by Slow Ventures, March Capital, Pritzker Capital. The round also included numerous renowned angels, including: Dr. Paul Jacobs, Qualcomm Executive Chairman; James Lassiter, founder of Overbrook Entertainment; Stephen Rader, founder of Clarity Partners; Jamie McCourt; Lionel Richie; and Mike Wortsman, former President of Univision. The funding round brings the company’s total funding to $8.7 million.
How It Works
For just $99, the Los Angeles-based Heal delivers comprehensive doctor’s visits to a patient’s home or office in under an hour. Unlike traditional doctor visits, Heal offers unhurried care with doctors spending as much time as needed with each patient. Doctors are currently available in Los Angeles and San Francisco any time 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week for anything a patient might require during a traditional office visit, including an annual physical, blood tests, specialist recommendations, prescription delivery and more. A new advanced booking option allows patients to book a doctor for the next day after hours. Heal plans to use the capital to help expand operations to 15 markets over the next 12 months.
Additionally, Health utilizes AliveCor ECG to deliver near-instant heart health analysis, CellScope otoscope to record HD-quality video inside a patient’s ear, and EMRs to give patients easy access to their medical history for its house calls.
“I created Heal to make life easier for busy parents and adults to get world-class primary care in the comfort, convenience and privacy of their home,” said Dr. Renee Dua, founder of Heal. “Our vision is to transform primary care into a one-stop Primary Health Solution, where patients can call on Heal at a moment’s notice not only for everything a traditional doctor’s visit can provide, but also for cutting-edge services and tools that put patients in control of their health like never before.”
