Brain Lab, a vendor of digital medical technology, gets smart, as it intelligently acquires VisionTree, which offers data collection and patient management software, and 000hhhh, it's cloud based.
Gentem, which says it has a revenue cycle management software package to support physicians who want to practice independently, raises $3.7 million in capital. A twist is that the company will pay doctors the billed amounts upfront.
Socially Determined, which offers a health care analytics package to capitalize on the hype around supposed social determinants of health, gathers $7.3 million in new funding.
Virgin Pulse, an employee wellness firm, throbs with love for Blue Mesa, a digital diabetes wellness platform, although that fondness may plateau after a while.
I don't know what's wrong with Oviva, we just reported on a company that raised $93 million for a "digital" approach to treating Type 2 diabetes, and Oviva could only raise $21 million for the same thing.

There is nothing virtuous about Virta Health's overhyped claims to cure Type 2 diabetes with its digital coaching, etc approach, but the company continues to rack up investment, getting $93 million in a new capital round.
Modern Health gets money the old-fashioned way, raising $31 million in additional funding from venture capitalists to support its mental health benefits business.
Massimo, which provides devices for monitoring, is acquiring NantHealth's division which offers software and services around interoperability and data connections for medical devices, for about $47 million.
DrChrono doctors up some new financing, $20 million worth, for its "essential platform and services for modern medical practices to make care more informed, more interactive and more personalized." You can't make this up, I can't make this up, but apparently someone at the company can. What they really do is over scheduling software, nothing wrong with that, a very basic need and something you should be proud of, so why not just say that.
