Navenio – a global location tech scaleup – recently announced that it raised $6.3 million in funding to help transform healthcare efficiency worldwide. This funding round was led by Oxford Science Enterprises and included existing investors, including G.K. Goh Ventures, Big Pi Ventures, George Robinson, and the University of Oxford.
Navenio’s technology facilitates patient care logistics within complex healthcare environments, optimizing workflow efficiency. Real-time location awareness of patients, staff, and medical equipment – combined with Rideshare-like intelligence of task allocation, current path of motion, and optimal route determination – enables automated orchestration of patient care.
Through access to real-time actionable insights like over- or under-utilization of resources (staff and/or medical equipment), Navenio’s Intelligent Location and Workforce Solutions facilitate improved operational efficiency and effectiveness, optimal resource utilization, creating enhanced revenue opportunities and better staff collaboration around the orchestration of care. This platform frees up clinical staff to maximize their time on providing the best care to patients.
The funding round enables Navenio to build upon its proven technology platform and demonstrated customer value to accelerate momentum in healthcare and beyond. And with a range of existing customers and partners in the US along with global customers including the NHS, private hospital groups and facilities management companies, the funding round will fuel further expansion and growth in the United States healthcare market and other geographies, including Europe.
