The Denver-based startup brings an array of health care services into patients’ homes, allowing them to avoid costly hospitalizations or trips to the emergency room. Kevin Riddleberger, DispatchHealth's Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer, discussed the resources that are available for at-home care and how his patients are able to interact with clinicians without having to visit a hospital.

Last week, Treehouse Games announced it raised $2.6 million in seed funding to create cooperative games that are the best way for friends to spend time together.

Treehouse Games co-founders Michael Chu and Ryan Sullivan joined Closing Bell to discuss how the games they are looking to make differ from many of the popular games customers are used to playing today.
