Verana, which does patient data aggregation and analytics for life sciences firms and providers, has added $100 million in a new capital raise, and is acquiring PYA Analytics, which combines clinical data and images to improve health issue detection.
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.
Alto Pharmacy, which delivers prescription drugs to patients in their homes or offices, has raised $250 million in new funding, which values the company "highly". Hope it's a sound investment, the press release certainly sings their praises.
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.
