Clinigence Selected to Participate in New York Digital Health Accelerator Program


ATLANTA --(Business Wire)--

Clinigence, a next-generation clinical business intelligence technology provider, today announced it has been selected as one of the seven healthcare start-ups to participate in the 2014 New York Digital Health Accelerator (NYDHA) program. The program was started through a public-private partnership sponsored by the State of New York, the nonprofit New York e-Health Collaborative (NYeC), and the Partnership Fund for New York City, the investment arm of the city's leading business organization.

During the four-month program, participating start-ups will work closely with senior-level executives to fine-tune and develop their technologies and business strategies through direct mentorship as well as a series of workshops, panel discussions, user-group sessions, networking opportunities, one-on-one meetings and presentations. In addition, the companies receive on average $100,000 in capital investment.

"We have selected seven early- and growth-stage digital health companies that will be put on a fast track for building a successful business providing technology solutions to the healthcare industry that will ultimately reduce health costs and improve patient outcomes," said Maria Gotsch, president and CEO of the Partnership Fund for New York City. "The 2014 class was selected through a competitive process from a pool of over one hundred applicants by the senior technolgy and innovation executives of the state's twenty-three leading healthcare systems."



Clinigence's solution-built around clinical data analytics, sematic data aggregation, and predictive modeling-provides real-time clinically-based reports about care gaps which help healthcare providers improve outcomes to proactively address the shift to value-based models and the growing demand for quality patient care.

"The NYDHA program is renowned for their ability to connect early growth-stage companies with leading healthcare organizations who have a keen understanding of how our technologies can be refined to meet day-to-day needs of providers," said Kobi Margolin, CEO of Clinigence. "We are thrilled to join this program and to work alongside other young companies who share the philosophy that creative healthcare technology can lead to better coordinated care and improved patient outcomes."


The NYDHA was ranked the #1 Health IT Accelerator in the world by the Rotman School of Management as compared to 21 other programs and has been lauded by Todd Park, United States Chief Technical Officer, and the California HealthCare Foundation for its deep industry ties.
