Leona Health Raises $14M to Streamline Doctor-Patient Communication
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
Caroline Merin, a former executive at Uber Eats and Rappi, identified a significant issue in Latin American healthcare: doctors were overwhelmed by patient messages on WhatsApp. Her startup, Leona Health, raised $14 million in seed funding, led by Andreessen Horowitz, to streamline this process. Leonas app integrates with doctors WhatsApp accounts, sorting messages by priority, suggesting responses, and enabling team members to reply. This saves doctors an average of two to three hours a day, a crucial innovation in a region where patients often choose doctors based on their willingness to communicate via WhatsApp. Leona plans to expand its services beyond Latin America, aiming to revolutionize healthcare communication worldwide.
