StartUp Health's Unity Stoakes joins the MobiHealthNews team to look back at a groundbreaking quarter for investment.

The automated care platform has been deployed at several health systems to remotely monitor, analyze and communicate with patients across a range of conditions.

Katya Hancock, Investor Network director at StartUp Health, says although Q3 2020 was the largest quarter for digital health funding in history, there's still a lot of work to do to address the most pressing healthcare needs.

Healthy Ventures was the lead investor this round, with participation from Collaborative Fund, Commerce Ventures, Connecticut Innovations, I2BF Global Ventures and StartUp Health.

The round was led by Octopus Ventures with participation from Y Combinator, Startup Health and Triple Point Ventures. 

Panelists at MassBio's Digital Health Impact event yesterday talk the pros and cons of the West Coast's tech culture and the East Coast's clinical tradition. 

Genneve, which has its roots in providing personal lubricants, also offers educational materials, online assessment tools, curated support products and message boards for community engagement.

Rock Health tracked just under a billion dollars in investment for the quarter, while Startup Health's more expansive methodology had the figure at $2.8 billion.

San Francisco, New York and Boston topped the funding charts this year but Beijing was on their heels.
