Clarity Pediatrics raises $10M for treating ADHD and other chronic childhood conditions
Raising young kids who have been diagnosed with, or are suspected of having, ADHD can be challenging. Some children with this condition may have Clarity Pediatrics, a chronic care startup founded in 2021, says it can reduce the wait time for receiving a diagnosis and beginning ADHD therapy from many months to a couple of days, for an average $15 co-pay per session.
Over the last 18 months, Clarity has provided online care to thousands of families in California, and it plans to use $10 million in seed funds it raised from Rethink Impact with participation from Homebrew and Maverick Ventures, to expend its services to other states in 2024. For now, Clarity is solely focused on treating ADHD in kids ages five to 12 by providing diagnosis, therapy and prescriptions, but the company has plans to eventually offer healthcare for low-complexity pediatric chronic conditions like asthma, allergies and obesity. Heidi Patel, a managing partner at Rethink Impact, said she invested in Clarity because the incidence rate of chronic disease in children has tripled over the last forty years, but the medical system doesn’t have enough specialists to treat these kids.
