About Kiddo
Good Parents Inc., operating as Kiddo, is a healthcare technology company that has developed a remote patient monitoring (RPM) platform specifically for the pediatric market. The company was founded in 2016 by CEO CJ Swamy, who was motivated by his own experiences as a parent of a child with sensitive airways to create a solution for proactive care management. The San Francisco-based firm initially launched its flagship product, the Kiddo wearable, through a Kickstarter campaign in 2017 after raising $2 million in a seed round in 2016.
Read full description
Kiddo's business model is centered on providing a comprehensive connected care system for at-risk children with chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, autism, and congenital heart disorders. The company partners with health systems, benefits providers, pediatric hospitals, and foundations, including major players like UHC/Optum and PC Health. Revenue is generated by enabling healthcare providers to receive reimbursements through various medical billing codes related to remote patient monitoring and chronic care management.
The core of Kiddo's offering is a wrist-worn wearable device designed for children aged 3 to 10. This device is equipped with five clinical-grade sensors that track key vitals, including heart rate, skin temperature, blood oxygen levels (SPO2), perspiration, and motion. The collected data is transmitted in real-time to a companion mobile application for parents and caregivers, providing daily health insights, alerts, and recommendations. The platform is HIPAA, HL7, and FHIR compliant, ensuring data security and interoperability with existing healthcare systems like EMRs and telehealth platforms. Beyond simple monitoring, the platform includes a coaching app for parents, on-demand telehealth services, and a clinical decision support tool for physicians to adjust treatment protocols based on real-world data. In 2022, Kiddo announced a $16 million Series A funding round to expand its teams, enhance partnerships, and pursue FDA device certification.
