Our take
Eating disorders are common in the United States. Roughly 9% of the population, or 28.8 million people, will have an eating disorder in their lifetime. However, long waiting lists and one-size-fits-all approaches that usually do not involve the patient's support network lead to many people suffering without the help they need.
Equip Health provides virtual treatment programs for people with eating disorders, leading treatments with virtual five-person care teams consisting of a therapist, physician, peer mentor, family mentor and dietitian. The family mentor represents the company's Family Based Treatment method, which is designed to empower families to help loved ones overcome their eating disorders.
By holding all sessions virtually and including the family of the patient in their recovery, the company can increase accessibility to eating disorder treatment, reduce its cost, and help more people recover. The value of this proposition has seen Equip Health raise substantial funding, the latest of which is being channelled into expansion of the platform.
