Solera Health won't be going it alone, raising $42 million in new capital to support matching patients with providers and treatment plans for chronic diseases.
You literally cannot make some of this stuff up. Listen to this gibberish. Hu-manity.co (yes, that is some marketer's idea of a good company name), wait it gets better, which describes itself as "bringing individuals and corporations into a consumer inclusive data economy", huh?, but actually does something around blockchain and authentication for health care companies, is acquiring Betterpath, which says it can access currently inaccessible health-related data to help with research. The end result, we are told, will be a company that creates "a powerful combination of Consumer Consent as a Service and healthcare's untapped datasets." Fire your PR firm right now, don't think about, don't delay, just fire them.
RLDatix and iContracts are merging to become RLiD (no, they aren't using a silly name like that), to create a company that offers patient safety, quality improvement, compliance and risk management software.

Two health care consulting firms are merging as Berkeley Research buys Prism Healthcare Partners in a deal that will result in a firm with over $225 million in revenue. Both firms primarily work with health systems.
