Rippl, a Seattle startup providing virtual health care for patients with dementia, announced $23 million in new funding.
The company is focused on delivering care outside of hospitals or emergency rooms, which can be traumatic and disorienting for people with dementia and potentially lead to overly aggressive treatment. Rippl offers virtual access to clinicians, counseling options and support in navigating care and resources.
“People affected by this disease have been undervalued and underserved for far too long,” said Kris Engskov, Rippl’s co-founder and CEO, in a statement.
The startup launched in 2021 and raised $32 million the following year. It has 80 employees and has raised a total of $55 million to date.
