BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Author Health launched today as one of the first platforms to provide comprehensive care and treatment for Medicare Advantage recipients with serious mental illness and substance use disorders.

Here were five notable digital health funding deals from this week.

The hybrid platform offers Medicare Advantage recipients behavioral health services. It will use the funds to grow its partnerships with insurance providers.

The at-home care field holds significant market potential. As the subsector continues to grow, some leaders of home healthcare startups are challenging misconceptions that some other industry stakeholders may still have, including the misbelief that at-home care is only for senior citizens and that this care model lacks scalability.

The digital health sector has entered a new era when it comes to funding, and startups in this space must quickly adjust to an investment landscape that is characterized by lower check sizes, fewer deals and smaller cohort of investors. If things continue at the pace the sector has maintained throughout the first half of the year, 2023 will mark the field's lowest yearly fundraising total since 2019, according to a new report.

Author Health helps seniors with serious mental illness and substance use disorders by working with Medicare Advantage plans. The company launched Wednesday with $115 million in financing, and announced that Humana is its first payer partner.
