Patient concierge startup HelpAround has nabbed $6 million to help people with chronic diseases stick with their treatment.
The Bethesda company, whose mobile platform connects patients with resources for the drugs they’re prescribed, is pushing deeper into the specialty pharmacy arena — where medications are high-cost and complex — after focusing first on the diabetes and renal disease space. The business is now partnering with these drug manufacturers to keep patients from dropping out of their treatment plans, especially those who have been newly diagnosed.
