  • Clearsense announced recently that it closed a $30 million round of funding. These are the details.

Clearsense — an advanced data management and analytics technology platform serving the healthcare industry — announced recently that it closed a $30 million round of funding in a partnership led by Health Catalyst Capital. And Clearsense will use the new capital to build out its technology and advisory services to lead enterprise data strategies, empowering access to and value from data in ways that weren’t previously possible.

The funding and market opportunities has been timely as the healthcare industry needs to streamline access and usage of data. And COVID-19 accelerated the need for data to be easily aggregated, curated, and highly visual with existing technologies proving inadequate to support the digital acceleration healthcare demands.

What Clearsense does is provide an adaptable data platform capable of bringing value across all healthcare verticals, including providers and payers, breaking the barriers between industry silos and leading to new efficiencies, insights, cost-savings, transparency, and a focus on value-based analytics. And as an adjunctive solution, Clearsense operates within any technology landscape, bringing additional value to current technology investments.

With this investment by Health Catalyst Capital, Clearsense is going to continue to innovate and develop its solutions, including the Clearsense DataHub – which will operate as the central nervous system for healthcare data, further enabling automation of data curation, preparation, normalization, and governance to streamline the ability for data to be used meaningfully and with full transparency. And Clearsense will continue the expansion of advisory services, bringing industry experts in data governance, data science, research, advanced analytics, and more to operationalize data across the enterprise to ensure long-term momentous results.
