Beep Saúde has developed an app that helps patients obtain more than 30 vaccines, including for influenza and HPV, set up appointments with healthcare professionals and access home lab tests for fetal sex, Covid-19, hormone and glucose levels.
Rio de Janeiro-based Beep, which launched in 2016 to simplify access to healthcare with in-home vaccines and lab tests, says it is profitable.
Its latest round of $16.6 million was led by New York-based Lightsmith Group. Existing investors Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and David Velez, the founder of Brazilian neobank Nubank, also participated.
Healthcare on demand
The prevalence of chronic diseases in Brazil are driving demand for in-home healthcare services. Beep partners with dozens of private insurers and says it has served more than one million households in 150 Brazilian cities across six states.
