Kin Health, a developer of a patient-centric medical record management application designed to bridge the communication gap between patients and healthcare providers, raised $9 million in a Seed round led by Maveron with participation from Town Hall Ventures, Flex Capital, Eniac Ventures, The Family Fund, Pear VC, Watershed Ventures, and Foundry Square Capital.
Kin Health is developing a consumer health app that uses AI scribe technology to transcribe physician-patient conversations into plain-language summaries for patients and their families.
Kin Health will use the Seed funding to expand its health platform, deepen its health record capabilities, continue building a best-in-class clinical quality and rigor engine, and begin rolling out downstream care navigation features to turn its understanding layer into an action layer for patients and their loved ones.
“The most important moment in a patient’s care is the conversation with their doctor. Everything else – adherence, follow-through, outcomes – flows from whether they understood it,” said Arpan Parikh, MD, who also serves as CEO of Kin Health. “So far, that moment hasn’t been addressed for patients. We built Kin to change that.”
Kin is headquartered in Los Angeles and was founded by practicing physicians Arpan and Amit Parikh, Kyle Alwyn, and GoodRx co-founders Doug Hirsch and Trevor Bezdek.
