Start-up Health at Scale has raised $16m in series A funding from UnitedHealth Group subsidiary Optum. They say this will result in the fewest post-operative treatment requirements, whether that involves trips to the emergency room or time in a skilled nursing facility, all of which would end up adding significant additional cost. The company is working with the University of California, San Francisco, to develop a mobile app that will help doctors and patients track their health data on an iPhone. The firm said its solution is already being used by large hospital systems and insurers, and said the investment would be used to expand its customer base.
