"The US healthcare system's capacity crisis has reached a breaking point in neurology, where 145 million Americans with chronic neurological conditions face average wait times of 4-6 months to see a specialist, if they can find one at all. This shortage isn't just an inconvenience; it's forcing millions to cycle through emergency departments, endure preventable suffering, and watch treatable conditions worsen while they wait."
"The company has already served over 43,000 patients nationwide, achieving a 73% reduction in ER visits and a 66% increase in patients' global impression of improvement - outcomes that caught the attention of the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women Venture Fund, which made Neura its first-ever investment. With their recent expansion into memory care addressing the critical shortage of cognitive neurologists (just one per million dementia patients), Neura is building the infrastructure layer that health systems need to manage neurological care at scale."
The US faces a neurology capacity crisis with 145 million Americans living with chronic neurological conditions and average specialist wait times of four to six months, driving unnecessary emergency visits and worsening treatable conditions. Neura Health provides a virtual neurology platform that schedules specialist appointments within seven days using board-certified clinicians, AI-enabled workflows, and continuous care coordination. The company has served over 43,000 patients, reporting a 73% reduction in ER visits and a 66% increase in patient-reported global improvement. Neura closed an $11.4M Series A led by the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women Venture Fund and expanded into memory care to address cognitive neurologist shortages and scale neurological care for health systems.
