Lionrock Recovery raises $7 million, lots of activity in this area of telehealth for recovery and rehabilitation. Also getting $7 million is Datos Health, an Israeli company with a remote monitoring platform. Finally, Biofourmis acquired Gaido Health, expanding into the oncology space. —Matthew Holt
