K Health plans to push into pediatrics with $132 million in new funding. The New York-based startup offers a free symptom-checking app as well as access to a text-based visit with a provider for a small fee.
The recent funding round, led by GGV Capital and Valor Equity Partners, will be used to launch a virtual pediatrics offering for kids ages 3 to 17. For example, parents can share what symptoms their child is experiencing, and get suggestions of what might be happening.
