{"id":64201,"title":"Equipt Health - Home medical equipment, prescribed online and delivered 📦","tagline":"Starting with a one-stop portal for sleep apnea at Helio Sleep","body":"**The Opportunity**\n\nHealthcare companies are delivering increasingly complex care in the home. Working at digital health startups like Counsyl, Truepill, Medallion, and Q Bio, we’ve seen the difference that infrastructure tools for laboratory, pharmacy, telemedicine networks, and imaging can make in providing medically actionable insights and delivering impactful care. The missing piece of this stack is home medical equipment (like CPAP machines, blood glucose monitors, oxygen concentrators, breast pumps, and more).\n\n**How It Works**\n\nEquipt Health makes it easy for any company to offer prescription medical devices to patients. We handle the whole process: the inventory, the packaging, the logistics, the clinical (via our provider network) and technical support, and the return of data from connected devices. We're starting with the diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea.\n\n**Helio Sleep Powered by Equipt Health**\n\nWe created [Helio Sleep](https://www.heliosleep.com/) to give users a better way to understand and improve their health through sleep tests, best-in-class treatment devices, and access to board-certified physicians. 24M Americans are currently undiagnosed for sleep apnea, leaving them not only tired but also at risk for serious health problems such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Helio Sleep offers straightforward access to prescriptions and deliveries, so that patients can get care affordably and easily from their homes.","slug":"GhV-equipt-health-home-medical-equipment-prescribed-online-and-delivered","created_at":"2022-06-29T22:48:53.358Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T00:48:53.594Z","total_vote_count":26,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/GhV-equipt-health-home-medical-equipment-prescribed-online-and-delivered","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":24875,"name":"Equipt Health","slug":"equipt-health","url":"http://www.equipthealth.com","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/d4f72203d27cdb1991cc70f5492f4b7018d4c73c.png","batch":"Summer 2021","industry":"Healthcare","tags":["Sleep Tech","Consumer Health Services","Digital Health","Telemedicine"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/24875"}}
