Modern Health gets money the old-fashioned way, raising $31 million in additional funding from venture capitalists to support its mental health benefits business.
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."

"Cogitativo's machine learning platform disrupts the rapidly growing market for healthcare performance improvements by enabling payers and providers to identify and challenge system complexities."
OM 1, garners $50 million in reflective new funding, meditating on its digital health business which provides some kind of platform to truly understand the health of a patient.
