Top venture capital most active in E-Health
We have recently learned that Apple has bought Glimpse, a personal health data platform with which users or patients can collect, personalise and share an image of their health data. This company was founded in 2012 and in 2014 received an investment round of 800,000$ in which GV, Matt Monahan and Sherpa Capital participated and which was necessary to give it the necessary liquidity to be able to develop its product.
