COVID-19 forced hospitals to rethink the digital patient experience. Lumeon surveyed 68 patient access leaders to uncover the challenges they face and how health systems will shift priorities in 2021.
Lumeon, a startup building a platform to make virtual care delivery more reliable, raised $30 million. Optum Ventures and Endeavour Vision led the funding round.
At the Abarca Forward conference earlier this year, George Van Antwerp, managing director at Deloitte, discussed how social determinants of health and a personalized member experience can improve medication adherence and health outcomes.
Called Lumeon, the company will use the money to grow its U.S. team and its Boston office, scale operations and advance customer deployments.
The Cedars-Sinai accelerator, which is powered by Techstars, announced its third cohort of startups this fall. Now, the 10 selected companies have unveiled deals and partnerships with various players in the healthcare space.
Whittled down from roughly 600 applicants, the goals of the 10 companies in the third cohort include improving the patient experience, offering more personalized care plans for cancer treatment, triaging patients faster and making blood sample collection less painful.
