| Subscription healthcare gains traction | |  | | (CreativaImages/Getty Images) | | | To improve the patient experience and reduce costs, a new crop of healthcare startups are offering membership-based payment structures rather than the traditional fee-for-service-based billing method.
Several venture-backed companies in the niche sub-segment of the primary and specialty care landscape are investing in proprietary technologies, including member engagement software, risk prediction techniques, remote patient-monitoring devices and home visits.
Our latest analyst note on the topic explores VC activity in the space, key direct-to-consumer providers and why scalability will play a crucial role in how the business model generates profits. | | | | | | | | | | A Place for Mom secures $175M as elder care industry grows | |  | | (smartboy10/Getty Images) | | | A Place for Mom, a Seattle-based company that connects families to senior care services across North America, has raised a $175 million growth round led by Insight Partners, with support from General Atlantic and Silver Lake. - VC-backed elder tech startups are increasingly capitalizing on an aging population and the need for unique offerings that comes with that demographic trend. By 2030, all baby boomers will be older than age 65 and account for one in every five residents, according to the US Census Bureau's 2017 National Population Projections.
- Other notable startups in the elder care space include Papa, a Miami-based provider of assistance and companionship that raised $150 million in November. There's also Devoted Health, which helps older adults buy health insurance and find healthcare and was valued at $12.7 billion in September, according to PitchBook data.
- In 2020, veteran venture capitalist Alan Patricof launched Primetime Partners with a goal of backing companies that improve quality of life for older adults. The early-stage VC firm's portfolio includes Bold and Carewell.

- The consortium agreed to pay €58 per share in cash for the Amsterdam-listed company, a 26% premium on Accell's Friday closing price. The deal is supported by its two largest shareholders, Teslin and Hoogh Blarick, which own 10.8% and 7.5% of the company, respectively.
