Luma Health Announces Series A

Luma Health , a San Francisco-based digital health startup established in 2014, has announced a $6.3M Series A round led by U.S. Venture Partners (USVP).

The company solves for how hard it is for patients to get in the front door of their doctor’s office. Patients wait three, four, up to five weeks for an appointment, yet most clinics have anywhere from a 10 – 25% cancellation and no show rate.

“When we started, that’s the problem we aimed to fix – match patients waiting for care with unused capacity in the clinic. As we spent more time with clinics and patients, we came to learn that there are disconnects throughout a patient’s entire healthcare journey, preventing patients and providers from getting connecting and starting that journey. What patients and clinics were doing just wasn’t working.”

Bottom Line: a company that focuses on connecting more patients to more care.
