Swedish online healthcare provider Kry has just raised $300 million in a new round of financing. The main investors in the impressive sum of the equivalent of 262 million euros are, among others, the US asset manager Fidelity and the Canadian pension fund CPP Investments. According to its own statements, the company doubled its growth last year compared to 2019 because of the Corona pandemic.
With the money, telemedicine company Kry aims to achieve its goal as an omnichannel digital health company by expanding its operations and adding software offerings. For example, an app expansion feature is on the horizon that takes mental health services into account and supports chronic medical conditions using digital tools. However, the active decision of the patient is always at the forefront of Kry’s digitalized healthcare.
Kry is thus attempting to develop higher-quality care with the involvement of physicians, healthcare facilities, and associations as well. In its home country of Sweden, the healthcare company even operates its own medical practices. In Europe, Kry is now active in 30 countries; digitization is also to be driven forward in this country.
The focus is always on improving experiences and outcomes for patients. According to the report, Kry achieves this with new acquisitions, more staff, strategic partnerships, and response to last year’s telemedicine boom. Online prescription deliveries via CallMyApo are also part of Kry’s business, as well as its only recent collaboration with Apologistics, a German digital pharmacy that can rival foreign shippers for e-prescription delivery.
