Emirates has partnered with Parsys Telemedicine to implement a new digital health system aimed at enhancing in-flight medical care. The airline is equipping 300 aircraft with portable telemedicine stations featuring high-definition video, Bluetooth-enabled diagnostic tools, and cloud-based data sharing to enable real-time communication between cabin crew and ground-based medical professionals. The system streamlines the collection and transmission of passenger vital signs, allowing faster and more accurate clinical decision-making during emergencies. Cabin crew will receive relevant training, including instruction on using the new technology, aiming to increase preparedness for a wide range of in-flight health scenarios.
Disease Management / Digital Therapeutics
1 | Vori Health Secures $53 Million in Series B Funding to Transform Value-Based Musculoskeletal Care
Vori Health, a physician-led provider of musculoskeletal care, has raised $53 million in a Series B funding round led by NEA, with support from AlleyCorp, Intermountain Ventures, Echo Health Ventures, and Max Ventures. Vori Health aims to revolutionize the U.S. musculoskeletal care system by addressing fragmented treatments, unnecessary surgeries, and high costs with its integrated, value-based model. With this new investment, Vori Health plans to scale its innovative care model to more clients, investing in advanced data analytics for more precise targeting of high-risk members, and enhancing its AI-powered technology platform and clinical programs to benefit even more patients.
2 | Evinova and Quantum Leap Healthcare Partner to Incorporate Real-Time Remote Patient Monitoring into Breast Cancer Platform Trial
Evinova has partnered with Quantum Leap Healthcare Collaborative to integrate its remote patient monitoring solution into the I-SPY 2.2 clinical trial for breast cancer. The technology will be used to track early symptoms of interstitial lung disease, a potential side effect of one of the trial’s treatment arms, enabling timely clinical intervention. Evinova’s RPM platform allows clinicians to monitor patient symptoms in real time between visits, supporting early detection and management of adverse events. This approach reflects growing use of digital health technologies to enhance patient safety and trial efficiency. The collaboration also highlights the broader role of RPM in tailoring monitoring based on specific toxicity risks.
3 | EpiWatch Announces FDA 510(k) clearance for Apple Watch seizure management app
EpiWatch, a company spun out from Johns Hopkins, has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its continuous seizure monitoring platform using the Apple Watch to detect and alert for tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizures. The app offers users medication reminders, insights on seizure triggers, mental health screenings, and a seizure logging feature. Developed through a collaboration with Johns Hopkins and Apple’s ResearchKit platform, EpiWatch aims to improve the management of epilepsy, providing safety and peace of mind for patients and caregivers. The company will now work with clinicians and early users in a limited market release to optimize the product and address user needs.
Informatics / Healthcare IT Solutions
1 | Heidi Health secures USD $16.6M in funding to free up clinicians to focus on patient care
Heidi, a healthcare AI company, has raised $16.6M to expand its ambient AI scribe and broader digital health capabilities. Its platform aims to reduce administrative burden on clinicians by automating documentation tasks like note-taking and pre-chart summaries, allowing providers to focus more on patient care. With over 1 million weekly consults across five countries, Heidi has gained significant traction in both individual and health system use, working to address workforce shortages and streamline clinical workflows.
2 | The University of Colorado Cancer Center and Flatiron Health announce collaboration to drive more efficient clinical trials
Flatiron Health has partnered with the University of Colorado Cancer Center and UCHealth to implement Flatiron Clinical Pipe, a tool that streamlines clinical trial data collection by transferring information directly from electronic health records to electronic data capture systems. This integration aims to reduce duplicative data entry, minimize site workload, and enhance trial efficiency. By automating aspects of clinical trial documentation, the collaboration supports broader digital health goals of reducing administrative burden and enabling more timely evidence generation. Early data suggests that the system can significantly decrease the time spent on manual data input, potentially improving staff productivity and patient engagement. The initiative reflects growing momentum around using digital health solutions to optimize the operational aspects of clinical research.
Women’s Health / Femtech
A new partnership between Philips, Ingeborg Initiatives, and the state of Arkansas is using the Pregnancy+ mobile app to help address the state’s high maternal and infant mortality rates. The app provides educational content, pregnancy tracking tools, and access to Arkansas-specific health and social services to support healthier pregnancies and early parenthood. A recent survey suggests that app users report higher maternal health literacy and are more likely to engage in prenatal care and adopt healthier habits. By delivering critical resources directly to mobile devices, this collaboration aims to meet expecting and new mothers where they are and improve access to care. The initiative reflects how public, private, and philanthropic partners are turning to digital health solutions to strengthen maternal health support.
