I am clearly too dated to understand today's investing world. Glow, which provides a fertility tracking app, has raised $17 million. (Insert pregnant pause)
The world keeps getting creepier. Beyond Verbal has raised $2.8 million in financing to expand its service of analyzing emotions from raw voice files. While the health applications may be great, some other uses are troubling.
Jiff has received an additional $18 million investment. Jiff describes itself as an aggegrator of access to mobile health apps and, this is a literal quote, "provides each employee an individualized health incentives program through an addictive mobile experience." OMG, sounds like substance abuse treatment will be needed after using Jiff.
COTA, Inc. (must be an impressive company with all those caps, or maybe that damned key to the left of a just got stuck, oh, or I get it, the release is about raising CAPITAL) has received an investment of $3.7 million to assist in its offering of support services for oncologist in value-based reimbursement schemes.
iHealth has raised $25 million for its business described as "personal mobile health products." Powered wheelchairs maybe? In connection with the financing it will be reorganized to become a sub of something called Andon Health.
