SeamlessMD, a Toronto, Canada-based developer of patient engagement technology for surgery, raised $1.1m in seed funding.
Backers included BDC Capital, FundersClub and some angel investors, including Dr. Ray Muzyka (Co-founder, BioWare and CEO of ThresholdImpact), Dr. Daniel Schwartz (Co-founder, QxMD) and Anthony Lacavera (Chairman, Globalive Capital and Founder, WIND Mobile).
The company intends to use the funds to expand its library of surgery programs, build additional clinical evidence and grow its customer base.
Led by Dr. Joshua Liu, CEO, SeamlessMD provides a smartphone, tablet and computer platform that allows patients to learn what to expect, prepare for surgery and have a safe recovery at home. Personalized to the patient’s type of surgery and hospital care plan, the platform provides:
– patients with evidence-based education, reminders, video education, progress tracking tools and feedback for self-management, and
– healthcare providers and administrators with real-time analytics to monitor patients remotely, derive insights about the patient experience and measure organizational performance.
