KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 13 (Bernama) -- Healthcare technology company, SaVia Health announced it has raised US$8.5 million (US$1=RM4.42) in its seed round funding.
The round was led by Intel Capital with participation from Kickstart, Peterson Ventures, Tom Burton, the founder of Health Catalyst, and Dr Brent James, a professor at Stanford and renowned luminary in the healthcare quality improvement field.
According to a statement, with this funding round, the company will further develop the self-authoring platform, expand its existing library of off-the-shelf applications, and focus on rapidly driving sales.
“When I first saw clinicians using the SaVia tools, I knew the platform was something special. Never in my 21 years of clinical practice have I seen a piece of technology so fiercely embraced by clinicians.
“Clinicians can finally design, implement, and modify care processes in a way that mirrors the rapidly evolving clinical landscape,” said SaVia Health co-founder and chief executive officer Dr Will Caldwell.
Today, SaVia Health provides clinicians and administrators with a versatile software tool that transforms paper-based care processes into digital workflows, embedding them directly into the electronic medical records. As a result, clinicians have real-time clinical advice at their fingertips.
By standardising care along best practice guidelines, mistakes are avoided and patients achieve better outcomes.
SaVia Health, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States, was founded by a clinician, Dr Caldwell, and a group of veteran healthcare software engineers led by David Edwards based in Salt Lake City, seeking to provide clinicians with the ability to self-author clinical care pathways and provide clinical advice at the point of care.
