Healthy aging

Rippl's mental health offering aims to provide seniors with 24/7 access to care.

It can also predict falls by using AI and a deep sensing camera that observes a wearer's movement.

During a panel at the Connected Health Summit, participants discussed the growth of remote patient monitoring technology and how providers can encourage its use, particularly among seniors.

Psych Hub, which offers mental health educational resources, raised $16 million, clinical trial search tool Power scooped up $7 million, and real-world data startup CuriMeta announced it had raised $6 million.

Also: Decentralized clinical trial startup Curebase names vice president of clinical operations, and digital opioid use disorder-treatment company Ophelia hires a chief technology officer.

Also: Fertility startup AiVF scores $25 million, and caregiver financial-support platform Aidaly emerges from stealth with $8.5 million.

The company provides resources and care navigation for people who are assisting older family members or loved ones with disabilities.

Digital health companies should focus on creating frictionless experiences that connect seniors to their care teams.

DUOS emerged from stealth with a $6 million seed in June.

The proof-of-concept study used off-the-shelf sensors to identify abnormal events and alert family members through text messages.
