Patients may be wise, but we will see about investors, as PatientWisdom grabs and undisclosed amount of funding for its app that lets patients share health care stories. Ahhh, isn't that cute.
Call9, which connects patients to on-demand emergency physicians and currently is used by skilled nursing facilities, has dialed up investors for a fresh $24 million in capital.
98point6 raises a hot $19.5 million from feverish investors. I am not sure what it does but the geniuses who wrote the press release say the company has an "audacious vision". It uses "deep technology" (on the ocean floor?) to do something related to continuity of care at a "massively lower cost than anything in the market today" (I didn't know cost had mass.) It is not a good sign when you can't tell in the first sentence or two of a press release what a company actually does. These investors are truly delirious.
Cardinal Analytx, which will use artificial intelligence and machine learning to predict which patients will be high cost, gathers $6.1 million in fresh funding.
Phil (get it, a really clever pun for a name), a comprehensive medication phulphillment and delivery service, phills up on capital, getting $10 million in new phunding.
