In addition to this, eVisit has partnered with the largest emergency and hospital medicine groups in the nation. These treat more than 8 million patients on an annual basis.
Bret Larsen, Founder and CEO of eVisit said,
“We’ve achieved in 18 months what took our competitors years to accomplish,” he added “Our rapid growth validates the market’s need for better patient/physician communication tools and solidifies our position as the market leader in telehealth software.”
This round would totally fast-track eVisit’s momentum within the telehealth industry. It will enable them to scale its sales, marketing, and support teams to continue providing best-in-class telehealth solutions.
Romi Dhillon, Founder & Managing Director at The Arizona Founders Fund said,
“For decades, a large number of patients have relied on emergency rooms for minor medical issues because they can’t get after-hours care from their primary care doctor,” he added “eVisit is the perfect illustration of innovation in the telehealth industry, enabling physicians to recapture patient visits from the emergency room.”
eVisit’s platform and mobile app empowers the physicians to improve patient satisfaction and boost the revenues for the practices by increasing patient affinity, enhancing patient flow, and monetizing after-hour visits through its intuitive platform.
For patients, the company reduces waiting time and provides them with easy access to their own doctor from home, work, and after hours using HIPPA-compliant, two-way HD video conferencing.
The company’s app, in a span of six months has gathered more than 224,608 downloads across iTunes and Google Play. It sees more patient engagement than any other platform-only competitor.
Curt Roberts, Partner at Kickstart Seed Fund said,
“In recent years, the number of digital health startups has escalated, with many trying to offer solutions to the industry’s lack of primary care physicians,” he added “eVisit is leading in remote care solutions. We’re excited to partner with their team as they solve real pain points for physicians and patients alike.”
