$130 million is a lot of money; it is a lot of capital. So why investors are giving it to Clover Health in a new financing round perplexes me, since it plows well-worn and not very fertile ground of doing data analytics and care coordination for Medicare Advantage patients.
Conversa, which, as the name suggests, facilitates health care conversations, raises $8 million in new capital. Conversely, the investors just threw money down yet another all-talk, no action, rabbit hole.
I love my job, because you literally cannot make this stuff up. Sync Project has raised $5 million to prove that its product using music can improve health outcomes, but wait, there's more, this will be personalized medicine (gotta hit at least one of the current buzzwords) because the music will be tailored to the patient's needs.
HealthReveal pulls back the curtain on an $11.3 million financing round. The company, yawn, has an analytics platform which does supposed real-time identification of at-risk patients.
