Telemedicine startup Eden Health raised $25 million to expand commercial real estate partnerships by Noah_Kirsch
McCambridge says that Eden Health can help businesses start returning to work safely, by screening employees for symptoms of COVID-19 before they enter a physical office. “We screen them via the Eden Health app, including being able to take their temperature at home and verifying that info via photo,” he says. Additional medical care and precautions would likely be necessary to maximize employee safety.
McCambridge cofounded the business with Scott Sansovich, Eden Health’s chief product officer, whom he met on their third day as Harvard undergraduates. McCambridge says he was motivated to entered the space because of his childhood interactions with the healthcare industry. His sister suffered from an undiagnosed illness and frequently required medical attention. “Over the course of four years [she] ended up seeing over 70 specialists,” he says. “There was no coordination whatsoever.
Still, experts say that telemedicine, if conducted properly, can be as effective as in-person care in certain cases. “In our studies at Massachusetts General Hospital, patients experiencing virtual visits with video said visits were more convenient than office visits and perceived quality of communication and overall care did not differ,” says Dr. Karen Donelan, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School, though she could not comment on Eden Health’s products specifically.
McCambridge, for his part, will have to prove that Eden Health can deliver on quality, and maybe help landlords stay afloat in the process. “We think that it's actually really important to build this in a very highly effective, clinically validated way,” he says.
