Axle Health builds software that enables any company to add in-home visits to their patient offering. Gone are the days of taking off work to go into an office or lab. Axle provides health professionals, optimized routing, and supply chain management to handle in-home care, so providers can maintain lasting relationships with their patients over video and chat while Axle provides physical services in their home.
The Covid pandemic has led to a rapid increase in telehealth usage. In the summer of 2019 only 8% of patients had used telehealth - that number is now above 50%. But the one thing preventing all of our healthcare needs from being met virtually? The world is still physical. We still need vaccines, blood draws, injections, and therapeutics that can only be delivered in person. That's where we come in. Axle Health connects telehealth platforms and patients with in-home healthcare professionals to bring care into the patient's home. We bridge the gap between physical and digital care.
We recently finished YC and raised our $2.5M seed round from Pear VC along with the founders of Eden Health, CareRev, and QuiteGenius plus Nikhil Krishnan from Out of Pocket and former execs at One Medical. We've also been featured in TechCrunch. If you want to get an idea of where we’re headed, check out our CEO’s launch blog post.

Get to Know Us
We're standing at the edge of a seismic shift in how healthcare is delivered in this country. In a digital first world, we are the bridge to the physical world. Come be a part of increasing healthcare access to millions of patients and growing personally & professionally along the way.
Healthcare is is complex. Healthcare in the home? Even more so. Part of the reason in-home care isn't widespread is because it's not economical without a heavy technological component. Providing economical in-home care is a series of optimization problems. How do you assign visits to the lowest cost health professional qualified for a visit? How do you account for different license requirements across states (e.g. a medical assistant in Florida can administer an IV, but in California they can't)? How do you ensure visits that require refrigerated supplies are completed earlier in the day? Solving this 3-dimensional tradeoff between time, geography, and licensure is what we do day-in and day-out.
