Sharecare has a vision, or is it a hallucination, and acquired Visualize Health. The former is the ubiquitous digital health engagement platform and the latter helps providers catch gaps in care that are called for by quality measures.
Health Catalyst, the publicly-held vendor of data warehousing and analytics services for providers, is acquiring Able Health, which automates the calculation of certain quality and other measures, for $27 million.
AlayaCare, a supplier of software to manage home and community care, is acquiring the Procura division of Complia. Procura offers enterprise software to long-term care facilities.
Healthgrades, which helps patients find and schedule appointments with providers (hmmm, sounds a lot like that Kyruus company that just raised more money), scores highly by acquiring Evariant, which assists providers with patient engagement.
AMN Healthcare, which is primarily known as a staffing firm, is acquiring Stratus Video, which provides remote language translation services, for $475 million, a price that is up in the "Stratus"phere!
Group purchasing organization Premier is acquiring two units of the Greater New York Hospital Association for about $290 million. The units provide supply chain consulting and purchasing assistance for hospitals.
Human Longevity (now there's a name that hopefully won't be long-lived), I am not even going to try to explain their business but is basically risk prediction for individuals, is acquiring DoctorsForMe, which supposedly matches patients with the doctor who can best treat them.
Evive, which offers some kind of health management platform, has acquired WiserTogether, which gives patients treatment guidance. Evive will use the "r" in the acquired company's name to "revive" itself. Now that is funny.
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.
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.
