The Six-Minute Sessions Trying to Rewire Recovery at Home
ROMTech has turned the humble rehabilitation pedal into a connected care loop. The bet is simple: recovery works better when therapy is frequent, measurable and close to the couch.
Examedi
Examedi is a Latin American digital health company that sends nurses and lab technicians to patients' homes to draw blood, run medical tests, give vaccines and connect people to doctors - booked in minutes through an app or website. Founded in Chile in 2021 and shaped in Y Combinator's Summer 2021 batch, it built logistics software to route clinicians the way a delivery app routes drivers, then expanded from COVID-era PCR tests into a broader home-health marketplace spanning lab work, telemedicine, nutrition, kinesiology and mental health across Chile and Mexico.
Doctor Anywhere
Doctor Anywhere is a Singapore-headquartered, tech-led healthcare company founded in 2017 by Lim Wai Mun. It started as a telemedicine app that put a licensed doctor on a video call within minutes, then deliberately grew downward into the physical world - GP clinics, specialist practices, health screening and imaging suites, home visits, medication delivery and an in-app health marketplace. The company describes the result as a 'Hospital Anywhere' model: one app that carries a patient from a 2am sore throat to a knee surgeon, across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines. It serves roughly 3 million users, sells to consumers, corporates and insurers, and has raised about US$176 million from investors including Asia Partners, Novo Holdings, Square Peg, EDBI, IHH Healthcare, Philips and Pavilion Capital.
Kivo Health
Kivo Health delivers virtual pulmonary rehabilitation for people living with COPD. Patients receive a Kivo Kit - a cellular-connected iPad, Bluetooth pulse oximeter, and exercise bands - then join live small-group video sessions with licensed respiratory therapists twice a week from their living rooms. The Y Combinator-backed, San Francisco company partners with health systems like UCLA Health, UCSF Health, Cedars-Sinai, and Novant Health to keep Medicare members out of the hospital while improving symptoms, activity, and mood.
Nest Health
Nest Health is a New Orleans-based value-based care company that brings primary medical, behavioral, and social care directly into the homes of families on Medicaid. Founded in 2021 by Dr. Rebekah Gee and Rebecca Kavoussi, the company offers 24/7 in-home and virtual visits at no additional cost to eligible families, treating the whole household - children, parents, and postpartum mothers - under one roof. Its model has reduced emergency room use, doubled vaccination rates, and delivered a two-to-one return for payer partners across Louisiana and Arizona.
Vijay Kedar
Vijay Kedar is the co-founder and CEO of Tomorrow Health, a New York healthtech company rebuilding how home-based care is ordered, delivered, and paid for. A Goldman Sachs private-equity alum and early Oscar Health operator who launched its Texas market, Kedar started Tomorrow Health after spending six frustrating weeks trying to coordinate home medical equipment for his mother during her cancer treatment. The company has raised roughly $92.5M from backers including Andreessen Horowitz, BOND, Obvious Ventures, and Sound Ventures, partnering with health plans and providers to connect a fragmented home-care supply chain.
Float Health
Float Health runs an on-demand marketplace that dispatches vetted registered nurses to patients' homes for specialty medication infusions. The San Francisco startup pairs an AI-powered scheduling platform with a gig-style nurse network, and acts as the staffing backbone for specialty pharmacies like CVS, Optum, Walgreens, Kroger and Option Care Health.
Ryan Johnson
Ryan Johnson is the Co-Founder and CEO of Float Health, a San Francisco-based healthtech company he founded in 2021 that connects specialty pharmacies and patients with vetted nurses for on-demand home infusion therapy. A former ER nurse with over 20 years of bedside and leadership experience across pre-hospital, rescue, and hospital settings, Ryan built Float after watching his own father depend on specialty infusions - care he could administer at home himself. Float graduated from Y Combinator's Winter 2022 batch and has raised $15 million in total funding, including a $10 million Series A led by Canvas Ventures in March 2024. The platform has completed over 86,000 home medication visits for clients including Optum, CVS, and Option Care Health.
