Podimetrics
Podimetrics' SmartMat technology that helps diabetes patients manage foot health and mobility will be incorporated into HealthMed's employee-focused portfolio of benefits.
Although investment slowed for startups, leaders noted several big deals in digital health, particularly among retail players.
The year was plagued by layoffs, slowing investments and an increased need for companies to prove their market value.
The execs spotlight the year's rise of home healthcare, drop in digital health investment and expanded use of AI, in addition to the value of virtual care.
Brightside Health, Podimetrics and Hims & Hers also announce new additions to their teams.
Also: Diabetes care company Podimetrics raised $45 million, and employer-focused hybrid startup Radish Health brought in $4 million in seed funding.
The study used Podimetrics SmartMats to take the temperature of participants’ feet and scan for signs of inflammation.
The company's diabetic foot ulcer detection platform is now available through 40 VA medical centers.
The round now comes to a total of $16.55 million, and will continue to support the company's push into the VA and commercial payer markets.
