Kin Health announced on May 22 that it has raised $9 million in a seed funding round led by Maveron. Other participants include Town Hall Ventures, Flex Capital, Eniac Ventures, The Family Fund, Pear VC, Watershed Ventures, Foundry Square Capital, and individual investors such as GoodRx co-founders Doug Hirsch and Trevor Bezdek. Additional investors include Nabeel Quryshi, Jay Desai, Alex Cohen, Saharsh Patel and more than 30 physicians.
The company is developing a consumer health platform centered on the physician-patient conversation. Its first product is a free app that records medical visits and provides users with easy-to-read summaries of their appointments. These summaries are designed to help patients understand what occurred during their visit and what steps to take next.
According to Kin Health, the app builds a personal health record over time from conversations between patients and doctors. This record is intended to be actionable and easy for patients or caregivers to share with others.
Kin Health was founded by practicing physicians Arpan Parikh and Amit Parikh alongside Kyle Alwyn and GoodRx co-founders Doug Hirsch and Trevor Bezdek. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles.
The new funding will support further development of Kin Health’s platform as it seeks to improve communication between doctors and patients.
