MedAnswers Launches Fertility Patient Matching Platform

Los Angeles-based MedAnswers, a venture-backed startup focused on fertility, is announcing this morning that it has launched a new product, which helps match users with fertility doctors and experts. The company already offers up information on fertility from experts via its iOS and Android apps. MedAnswers said its new tool will use health data reported by users to match them to doctors, fertility products, and clinical trials; the tool also helps fertility clinicians by supplying qualified leads to those healthcare providers. The new matchign platform is free to end users. MedAnswers is led by co-founder and CEO Alice Crisci, and recently raised $5M from Special Situations' Life Sciences Innovation (LSI) Fund and Viking Capital. The startup was a part of the Illumina Accelerator.
