US-based phone operator Verizon Communications’ corporate venturing group has invested in high-definition video conferencing company BL Healthcare.
Verizon Ventures provided the undisclosed amount of funding to BL Healthcare’s most recent financing round after the company raised $2.9m in 2009’s series A round, according to its regulatory filing.
The money will help BL Healthcare’s expansion of its remote health care video conference facilities, including those underway with Verizon.
In January, from the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), BL Healthcare said its 4G LTE-enabled TCx-I Healthcare Access Terminal, which provides multi-point video conferencing with simultaneous sharing of medical telemetry between remote patients and their caregivers, would work on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network launched in December.
The partnership followed collaboration at Verizon Wireless’ LTE Innovation Centre, established in 2008.
