Patients and caregivers in the U.S. often spend more than eight hours each month managing appointments, medications, medical records, and insurance-related issues on their own. This burden leads to higher costs and delayed or missed care. Traditional navigation channels across insurers, providers, and employers reach only a subset of patients and caregivers who need help. Filling the gap is a new wave of direct-to-consumer (D2C) solutions that are beginning to show their impact. The early traction of Solace Health, Citizen Health, and PocketHealth, among others, points to pent-up demand for accessible, trusted care navigation services outside legacy channels. However, there is still a significant opportunity to reimagine D2C care navigation by putting AI at its core to guide patients and act on their behalf. Why the timing is right to broaden access to care navigation: ⚡ Gap: Quality care navigation is still fragmented, costly, and inaccessible for many patients 🌐 Tailwinds: New Medicare reimbursement codes, rapid AI advances, and rising consumer comfort with digital health tools (one in six U.S. adults now use an AI health chatbot monthly) 🚀 Opportunity: Build an AI-innate, patient-centered platform that delivers comprehensive, impartial, and affordable navigation at scale In our latest blog, Kienan O'Brien and Divyanshu Bali explain why these shifts matter now, what today’s players are getting right, and where the biggest opportunities are.

Exciting milestone from the Redesign Health portfolio! Cascala Health has raised $8.6 million in seed funding to accelerate its AI-powered clinical intelligence platform for post-acute care. Congrats to CEO & Co-Founder Matt A. Murphy and the Cascala team! This funding round, co-led by Flare Capital Partners and Eniac Ventures with additional backing from Omega Healthcare Investors, Ziegler Link-age Funds, Tau Ventures, and Digital Health Venture Partners, will help Cascala scale its platform, strengthen care teams, improve outcomes, and reduce costs across the post-acute continuum. We partnered with Matt A. Murphy to build Cascala, addressing one of healthcare’s biggest challenges: fragmented and inefficient care transitions that cost the system billions and compromise patient health. By embedding real-time, clinically responsible AI directly into existing workflows, Cascala empowers clinicians to close gaps, prevent avoidable readmissions, and deliver higher-quality care to patients when they need it most. We’re proud to continue supporting Cascala’s mission to transform post-acute care with technology that truly meets the moment.

How does Linea tackle one of the U.S. healthcare system’s most persistent and costly challenges: hospital readmissions for heart failure patients? In conversation with Fierce Healthcare’s Heather Landi, Linea CEO Rishi Madhok, MD, shares why managing this high-risk, high-cost population requires more than reactive care. It demands timely intervention and consistent support. Linea’s model gives care teams a head start by identifying discharges four days earlier than traditional methods, engaging 80 percent of patients before they leave the hospital, and delivering over a dozen check-ins in the first 30 days. The result is a sustained drop in readmissions to under 25 percent and stronger continuity of care for patients who need it most. Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/gW22xuWP

We’re proud to share that Linea, launched by CEO Rishi Madhok, MD, in partnership with DaVita Kidney Care, is expanding its AI-powered heart failure care platform to reach more patients and health systems nationwide. Built for value-based care, Linea’s 90-day post-acute model combines AI-powered clinical workflows with high-touch patient support, helping ACOs reduce readmissions, lower costs and improve outcomes for one of the country’s highest-need patient populations. Specific outcomes include: ⚪ 50% reduction in hospital readmissions ⚪ 4-day lead time on discharge detection ⚪ 80% of patients engaged before hospital discharge ⚪ Scalable support for transitions of care, remote monitoring, and GDMT optimization Linea reflects the shared belief that care can be smarter, more proactive and more connected -- especially for patients navigating complex conditions like heart failure.

Welcome Yona Remer, we are so looking forward to partnering with you! Era Supports

This week we hosted the 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐀𝐈 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧 - an evening of intimate conversations with a group of bold, curious, and mission-driven thinkers exploring how to build in healthcare. From care navigation to data infrastructure and payer innovation, the dialogue reaffirmed one thing: the next generation of healthcare companies will be shaped by operators and founders who understand both the complexity of the system and the power of AI to transform it. At Redesign Health, we’re looking for founders who want to build companies that make healthcare radically more accessible, affordable, and effective. If you’re exploring your next move or know someone who is, we’d love to connect.   🔗 Learn more: redesignhealth.com  ✉️ Reach out to us: buildwithus@redesignhealth.com Sarah Cranston Clark Jennison Oscar Lizarzaburu Ayushi Sinha

Founders who master pre-product sales improve their odds of reaching escape velocity – accelerating interest from subsequent customers, investors and talent. Easier said than done. After working with 50+ healthcare founders, we have identified tactical approaches that turn vision into committed early partners. The application isn't just philosophical - it's financial: selling at the idea stage saves 6-12 months of development time and tens of thousands in cash burn. Here’s a proven pre-sales playbook we’ve seen successful founders deploy: 🤝 Find your early champions through your network, with a burning problem, or hungry to innovate 📈 Communicate a clear ROI 🎯 Propose a defined demonstration project upfront with KPIs and responsibilities 💲 Lock in commercial terms from day one to avoid sticker shock What’s your experience with early-stage sales? 📖 Full article by Pavel Gurevich in the comments.

📉 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 3: 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐀𝐈 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞? We’ve explored how AI is shifting healthcare budgets and unlocking new ways to scale innovation in Part 1 and Part 2 of the series. In the final part of our series, authored by Neil Patel and Neharika Garg from Redesign Health, we turn to the long-term implications. Who benefits most from this transformation, and how might it impact cost structures across the system? Here’s how value could play out: 🏥 Providers are reducing cost pressures and burnout 💰 Founders and investors are building high-margin companies tied to real outcomes 📄 Payers are benefiting from faster, more efficient operations 👥 Patients are gaining access to more affordable and responsive care As AI becomes part of everyday operations, it’s changing how work gets done in healthcare, not just a tech upgrade but a fundamental shift across scheduling, documentation, care coordination, and claims. It's a structural shift in how the system operates. We’d love to hear from founders, builders, and investors exploring this space.
