Pomelo Care

Pomelo Care is a virtual healthcare company founded in 2021 that provides evidence-based women's and children's healthcare. Its work sits at the intersection of clinical protocols and applied data science: predictive analytics and machine learning are used to identify risk and direct a 24/7 virtual care model spanning fertility and preconception, pregnancy and postpartum, pediatric care and midlife health. The approach addresses medical, behavioural and social factors affecting outcomes for mothers and babies.

The company's platform covers 25m lives across all 50 U.S. states, with particular focus on Medicaid populations. Reported outcomes include a 37% reduction in preterm births, 6.8 fewer days in NICU stays and a 12% reduction in ER costs; patient satisfaction stands at 4.9 out of 5. Technical domains of relevance to engineers and researchers include predictive analytics, machine learning, healthcare data analytics and virtual care delivery at scale.

Pomelo Care raised $92m in a Series C round and is valued at $1.7 billion. The founding team includes backgrounds at Flatiron Health and McKinsey. The company operates solely within the United States and works across healthcare, women's health, maternity care and pediatrics.
