Unified Telemedicine Solutions Innovator Cloudbreak Health Joins StartUp Health's Global Army of Health Transformers


Cloudbreak Health, LLC ("Cloudbreak"), a leader in telemedicine solutions, has been chosen to join the elite StartUp Health Academy for Health Transformers and digital health entrepreneurs. StartUp Health's platform is focused on coaching and supporting entrepreneurs to foster digital innovation to transform health on a global scale.

"Simplifying and humanizing healthcare is at our core and we are proud to be selected by StartUp Health to join a community working towards these shared goals," said Jamey Edwards, CEO of Cloudbreak Health. "Partnering with StartUp Health allows us to benefit from their experience in helping companies like ours scale effectively while being able to collaborate with other StartUp Health portfolio companies via our marketplace of healthcare solutions, as well as our application-programming interface (API) and software development kit (SDK)."

The Cloudbreak platform was designed to allow providers to connect, communicate and care for patients wherever they are located and in whatever language they speak via one single video platform. The platform is one of the first in the country to follow the patient from the home to the hospital and back again, maintaining the patient's existing continuum of care using teemedicine. Additionally, Cloudbreak was the first company to bring a medical language interpreter into a telemedicine call. For all of these innovations, the company was recently recognized with a Patrick Soon-Shiong Innovation Award.



"We are thrilled to welcome Cloudbreak Health and their team to the StartUp Health family," said Polina Hanin, Director of StartUp Health Academy. "We're inspired by visionary entrepreneurs with such passion and purpose. And Cloudbreak Health - working to achieve both the Cost to Zero and Access to Care Moonshots - is on a mission we care deeply about."
