In 2020 the company acquired MSK-focused Physera, which gave it a foot holding in the physical therapy space. Since then the company rolled out new computer vision technology to help physical therapists virtually measure a patient’s movement and range of motion.
The company created the Omada Insights Lab, which uses clinical design, care delivery, product design, data science, and behavioral science to help develop personal goals and plans for patients.
WHAT IT’S FOR
Omada’s plans to use the Series E-money to hire more staff across the company. It also plans on building out its tech plan for care and personalization and investing in Omada Insights Lab.
“With a 10-year track record, Omada’s approach is delivering outcomes that outpace the industry,” Sean Duffy, co-founder, and CEO of Omada Health said in a statement. This latest round of funding not only validates but accelerates our mission in offering virtual chronic care treatment to millions of people across the U.S. With the support of our investors, Fidelity, aMoon, Civilization Ventures, and others, we’re able to better support our customer growth and usher in a new model of care.”
