Anu Sharma, founder and CEO of Millie told

阿努·夏尔马，米莉的创始人兼首席执行官告诉

MobiHealthNews that it was harder to raise capital this time around compared to when the company launched in 2022 due in part to the state of the capital markets that year and the fact that it was a very 'frothy' market with zero interest rates, in a post COVID environment.

MobiHealthNews 表示，与公司 2022 年成立时相比，这次筹集资金更加困难，部分原因是当年资本市场的情况，以及在后疫情环境下，那是一个零利率的“泡沫”市场。

'It was a time where a lot of companies were raising capital relatively quickly and on very favorable terms,' Sharma told

“当时很多公司都在相对快速地筹集资金，并且条件非常有利，”夏尔马告诉

Millie launched with $4 million in a seed funding round led by TMV Ventures and BBG Ventures.

Millie 在由 TMV Ventures 和 BBG Ventures 领投的种子轮融资中筹集了 400 万美元。

'In 2023 and 2024, the capital markets were in a very different place. Interest rates were higher, the cost of capital was higher. There were just a lot of funds that were sitting on portfolio companies that were hoping to see exit but there were no exits to be found,' Sharma said.

“在2023年和2024年，资本市场处于非常不同的状态。利率更高，资本成本也更高。很多基金手中持有投资组合公司，希望看到退出的机会，但却找不到任何退出途径，”夏尔马说道。

Millie is a maternity clinic that distinguishes itself as being “built by moms and care providers.'

米莉是一家妇产诊所，其与众不同之处在于它是“由妈妈们和护理人员创建的”。

The clinic takes a 360-degree, patient-centered care approach that utilizes

该诊所采用全方位、以患者为中心的护理方法，利用

collaborative OB-GYN/midwife support and clinical best practices to guide people from conception through prenatal care, labor and delivery and the postpartum period.

协作的妇产科医生/助产士支持和临床最佳实践，指导人们从怀孕到产前护理、分娩和产后阶段。

Sharma noted there are more companies in women's health and more types of companies since Millie's last funding initiative as a startup.

夏尔马指出，自从Millie上次作为初创公司发起融资以来，女性健康领域的公司数量增多，类型也更加多样。

'It's a large underserved space. We are seeing more players come in. Not everyone is in maternal health. We are seeing a lot more going on in the realm of menopause care,' Sharma said.

“这是一个很大的未被充分服务的领域。我们看到有更多的人进入。并不是所有人都在做孕产妇健康。我们看到更年期护理领域有更多的活动，”夏尔马说。

She states that Millie uses technology to provide more continuous monitoring of care and that includes telehealth and an app.

她表示，米莉使用技术来提供更持续的护理监测，其中包括远程医疗和一款应用程序。

, Sharma anticipated that AI will 'continue to gain prominence in healthcare – in AI-driven SaaS models and in the continued tech-enablement of payor and provider operations.'

，夏尔马预计人工智能将“在医疗保健领域继续受到关注——在人工智能驱动的软件即服务（SaaS）模式中，以及支付方和提供方运营的技术赋能持续进行中。”

Sharma noted that the applications are endless and on the payor side she expects to see more AI used in actuarial risk analyses, claims adjudication and back-office processes including, eligibility checks, prior authorization and member service call centers.

夏尔马指出，其应用是无穷无尽的，在支付方这边，她预计将看到更多的人工智能应用于精算风险分析、理赔裁决以及包括资格审查、事先授权和会员服务中心呼叫中心在内的后台流程。

On the provider side, she envisions AI playing a continued role in extending current provider capacity through clinical decision support, ambient charting, inbox management and streamlined care operations.

在医疗服务提供者方面，她设想人工智能将继续通过临床决策支持、环境记录、收件箱管理以及简化的护理操作来扩展当前的医疗服务能力。

'In maternal health, with acute OB/GYN shortages, this is especially powerful in keeping care accessible as the incidence of maternity 'care deserts' continues to rise,' Sharma said.

“在孕产妇健康方面，由于妇产科医生严重短缺，这一措施在保持医疗服务可及性方面尤为重要，因为孕产妇‘医疗荒漠’的现象持续增加，”夏尔马说。
