Ro

Ro is a direct-to-patient healthcare company founded in 2017 that links telehealth, diagnostics, laboratories and pharmacy services into a single nationwide online offering, spanning diagnosis, medication delivery and ongoing care. Its technical work spans telehealth, digital health, pharmacy and e-commerce technology, diagnostics and lab services, and the integration of these components into one platform.

The company operates several digital clinics, each focused on a distinct clinical area: Roman (sexual health), Ro Derm (skincare), Ro Fertility (fertility) and Ro Body (weight loss). Ro states that it has helped millions of patients reach their health goals, that its services reach patients in every county of the United States, and that it reaches 98% of primary care deserts.

Ro says it was founded to prevent patients from putting their lives on hold for want of high-quality, affordable healthcare, with an emphasis on accessibility, convenience and affordability. It highlights work on stigmatized conditions and on underserved areas. The company's geographic presence is the United States, nationwide; no funding or team-size details are published here.
