Covid-19 Turned This Health Startup’s Model Upside Down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Covid-19 Turned This Health Startup’s Model Upside Down. Telemedicine<\/a> was always a part of Circle Medical’s plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it’s their main offering.<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It makes sense that telemedicine startups are seeing a\u00a0surge in interest from customers and investors<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With patients sheltering in place and\u00a0healthcare workers struggling to provide safe<\/a>\u00a0and effective Covid-19<\/a> care, visiting a doctor’s office is the last thing anyone wants to do right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemedicine has always been one of the offerings from Circle Medical, a five-year-old San Francisco-based primary care practice with two brick-and-mortar health centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-founder and CEO George Favvas estimates that\u00a090% of Circle’s\u00a0practice took place in person with an app-based telehealth option\u00a0offered as a followup after patients had established care with a doctor.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was before shelter in place took hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Covid-19
Covid-19 Turned This Health Startup’s Model Upside Down<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“We basically flipped the model on its head,” says Favvas. Since the pandemic struck, face-to-face appointments have largely been replaced by device-to-device ones, even for some first-time patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Favvas estimates that 90% of Circle’s patients are now checking in entirely by video with extremely\u00a0rare in-person appointments out of respect for everyone’s safety and the continued\u00a0flattening of the curve<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We wanted to contribute to the solution and not contribute to the problem,” he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investors are betting that this may the moment telemedicine takes off. Circle Medical just announced a seven-figure investment from Decathlon Capital Partners. (It already had $12.5 million in funding with contributions from Y Combinator, Collaborative Fund, Tencent Holdings, among others.) As\u00a0Inc.<\/em>‘s\u00a0Kevin J. Ryan reported<\/a>, other telehealth startups, such as 98pPoint6, TytoCare, and SteadyMD, have landed\u00a0new funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan also cites a\u00a0report from Grand View Research<\/a>\u00a0that estimates telehealth’s growth going\u00a0from\u00a0$41 billion\u00a0in 2019\u00a0to\u00a0$155 billion\u00a0in 2027, a spike no doubt accelerated by the current crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
