For its healthcare AI technologies, Vital has received a Series B investment of $24.7 million.
In a press release on Friday (March 24), Vital said that by providing solutions that patients can access on their mobile phones, which enable them to view their progress towards discharge, request services, share their health status with family members, and carry out other tasks, the company helps hospitals better communicate with patients.
Our engaging and clever software keeps patients interested and informed while automating tasks for workers who handle emergency departments and inpatient stays,” claims Vital CEO Aaron Patzer. Thanks to this funding, our technology will now be more effective for patients, families, and professionals.
According to research, the rapid digitization of healthcare services offers patients new ways to obtain, use, and pay for medical care.
For instance, patient portals are now standard practice because, according to “Accessing Healthcare: Reducing Digital Friction in the Patient Experience,” 61% of patients who indicated they are interested in utilizing portals also indicated they would move to a healthcare provider that had one.
That is just one illustration of how increasingly digitally savvy patients have been empowered by their ability to communicate with healthcare providers and now anticipate a seamless experience throughout their patient journey, according to the report.
