I think I don't understand this. Cogitativo, which offers some AI driven software to help providers improve performance, raised $18.5 million in new capital. This sentence from the company encapsulates the BS that permeates certain segments of health care and which should be a warning sign for any thoughtful investor but clearly isn't.
