Company Name Vermedx
Mailing Address 371 Pearl St Burlington, VT 05401
Company Description The American health care system is poorly equipped to effectively and cost-efficiently manage chronic disease in general, and diabetes in particular. With 40 million Americans affected by diabetes and related costs exceeding $100 billion annually, established treatment practices are simply not good enough.Vermedx programs embody the Chronic Care Model (CCM). This widely embraced approach to improving health outcomes emphasizes enabling provider teams to be prepared and proactive, and to interact regularly and effectively with well informed patients. It directly counteracts a leading factor in the current problem set: clinical inertia.
Proceeds Purposes FreshTracks Capital, a venture firm based in Shelburne, VT, led the financing, which is intended to provide Vermedx with funds to enhance marketing efforts and continue to develop products.
