Pager, a startup that has developed a mobile service that aims to better coordinate patients and providers between visits through a series of apps, closed its first round of funding at $10.4 million.
The apps are designed for patients to get a provider to visit them in-home or at an office and starts with a flat-fee $49 first visit.
Existing investors Lux Capital and Montage Ventures led the round and were joined by Goodwater Capital and Summation Health Ventures, a strategic partnership between MemorialCare and Cedars-Sinai health systems, the company said in a release.
The new financing will be used to help the company expand into new markets, develop new technology for more devices and integrate with insurance plans, the company said. It is currently available on iOS devices and is available in New York City.
The company was founded in 2013 and is headed by founder and CEO Gaspard de Dreuzy. Other founders include Philip Eytan and Oscar Salaza. Salaza was among the original founders of Uber and Eytan was a founding investor in Livestream and other startups after working on Wall Street.
