Roon Secures $15M to Offer Doctor-Led Video Health Advice
Roon, a startup co-founded by Vikram Bhaskaran, Rohan Ramakrishna, and Arun Ranganathan, has raised $15 million to create a platform where doctors share video-based Q&As on various health issues, aiming to replace 'Dr. Google' and sites like WebMD. The platform offers over 16,000 videos on conditions such as ALS and PCOS, with plans to expand into women's health and other areas. While Roon hasn't yet monetized, it offers doctors an honorarium for participation and aims to empower patients with reliable medical information.
