Founded in 2016, K Health has raised over $260 million to date, including a $42 million Series D funding round in November 2020, led by Valor Equity Partners. The company plans to use the new funds to expand its telehealth services.
K Health develops a symptom checker app that uses AI to suggest potential diagnoses for consumers who enter symptoms and consider the user’s medical history, age, and gender. After users go through K Health’s symptom checker, they can chat with a specialist for a $20 flat fee or a $9 per month subscription.
The company offers telehealth services for almost all primary care conditions and anxiety and depression with customizable treatment plans.
K Health currently available in all 50 states in the U.S. The app has onboarded more than 4 million users to date. According to the company, more than 1 million new people have turned to K Health for their primary care and mental health needs since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“K Health is changing the equation of access to high-quality medicine,” said Allon Bloch, CEO & co-founder of K Health. “Our system opens access to the best doctors at a fraction of the cost and without the wait. This new funding and expansion to care for the whole family gives more people the break they need today.”
