Heidi Health’s Dr. Thomas Kelly has unveiled a 21-gram wearable designed to replace the smartphone in clinical consultations – the first move in a vertical integration play that aims to process everything on-device. The clinician-led approach drew early backing from Blackbird Ventures, which led Heidi’s $5 million seed round just two years into its initial Oscer product, with partner Michael Tolo backing Kelly’s push to rethink how care is delivered. “Heidi now powers over 2 million consults every week, most of which are outside Australia,” says Tolo. “We’re just scratching the surface of what might be possible. Scribing is the start, not the end. Its success sets the foundation for a decade-long product roadmap.” 📌 Story: https://lnkd.in/gSX6MP8V 🖋️ Shivaune Field for Forbes Australia
