BEKhealth, an AI-based chart abstraction and patient-matching platform company, announced it raised $4 million to support its continued growth. This latest funding round was co-led by Hatteras Venture Partners and Boston Millennia Partners with participation from existing investors Excelerate Health Ventures, Martin Ventures; and new investors RTI International and WakeMed Innovation Fund.
This announcement follows strong customer growth last year, during which the company expanded its customer base – which now includes Avacare Clinical Research Network, Biopharma Informatics, Chemidox, Elixia Health, Gadolin Research, Innovo Research, Javara, Om Research, Prolerity Clinical Research, Rocket Trials, Sitebridge Research, Summit Clinical Research, Tekton Research, Velocity Clinical Research, and many more.
BEKhealth brings an AI-driven technology that integrates electronic health records (EHR) data to optimize population feasibility and rapidly identify clinically qualified participants for clinical research. And the company plans to use this most recent round of capital to continue expanding its customer base and product offering.
