Zoom Invests in Medaica to Help Expand Clinical Exams to Every Home
The collaboration aims to bring medical devices into virtual clinical examination workflows.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Backed by an investment from Zoom Ventures, the collaboration will enable medical devices to become part of virtual clinical examination workflows, with the aim of expanding access to care.
The collaboration builds on Medaica’s FDA-cleared remote examination technology and aims to connect medical devices, clinicians, and AI-assisted tools during virtual examinations, expanding how healthcare professionals can examine, measure, and monitor remotely.
“Telehealth transformed access to healthcare, but the physical exam remained in the clinic,” said Stephen Randall, CEO and co-founder of Medaica. “Telehealth 2.0 will enable clinicians to examine, detect, diagnose, and monitor patients remotely in real time. With Zoom’s investment, we are building an ecosystem of medical devices, AI and diagnostic tools that can bring clinical examinations to every home and care facility.”
Abhisht Arora, Chief Strategy Officer, Zoom, said: “Zoom’s investment in Medaica is an extension of our longstanding commitment to connecting clinicians, patients, and staff, regardless of location, and equipping them with tools that enhance care and reduce the administrative burden. Medaica enhances care from anywhere, establishing digital-first clinical examinations as a new standard for accessible, high-value, and on-demand healthcare delivery.”
That potential is particularly important for patients facing barriers of distance, mobility, or access. Dr. Byron Williams Jr., Emeritus Chief of Medicine at Emory University Hospital Midtown and Chief of Cardiology at Emory Saint Joseph’s, said, “Medaica’s solution enabled me to monitor my patients’ murmurs and bruits remotely in real time. That was liberating not only for us, but for my patients, some of whom are in their 90s and live more than an hour from the clinic. This technology can significantly expand the care that can be delivered remotely.”
