Apervita Voted “Most Likely to Make Biggest Immediate Impact on Digital Health” by HealthXL Partners and Advisors
Chicago (PRWEB) February 10, 2015 -- Apervita, Inc. (http://www.apervita.com), the first health analytics market, today announced it was voted “most likely to make the biggest immediate impact on digital health” by industry partners and advisors at HealthXL (http://www.healthxl.org), the global clearing house for innovation in healthcare. More than 60 HealthXL community members from major global health enterprises cast their votes for 20 innovative health companies featured in the HealthXL Report. Among the shortlisted companies included in the report, Apervita collected the most votes for its platform enabling rapid self-service publishing of health analytics. Apervita will now present at the HealthXL event in Dublin on February 27 to some of the largest healthcare corporations in the world, such as IBM, Novartis and Linde Healthcare.
“Our mission is to catalyze collaboration between leading brands in healthcare and the most exciting tech companies to improve the lives of millions of people,” said Martin Kelly, CEO and Founder of HealthXL. “We are delighted that Apervita will present in front of 70 global healthcare leaders at the Global Gathering. With its healthcare analytics market, Apervita is a prime example of a new cloud platform that can help countless patients worldwide.”
Apervita empowers health professionals and enterprises to capture and share health knowledge, allowing them to easily author, publish and use health analytics, such as algorithms, quality and safety measures, pathways, and protocols. The cloud-based Apervita Market enables anyone, anywhere to create and subscribe to analytics, and easily integrate them into their workflow. For the first time, it provides fast, flexible and affordable analytics necessary to satisfy the burgeoning demand for health insights. Apervita’s rapidly growing community, including top academic medical centers, are addressing fundamental provider challenges, such as chronic disease management, preventable adverse events, readmissions, cancer, early warning, quality and safety.
“Among the greatest challenges in healthcare is the time it takes to transition research from the scientist’s bench into practice. It is estimated that it takes 17 years, a number that’s unacceptable when it’s costing lives,” said Paul Magelli, CEO of Apervita. “Apervita solves this problem by offering a simple solution for authors and professionals to share and use health analytics that can quickly benefit patients. Our Moonshot at Apervita is to connect the world’s computable health knowledge to empower health professionals everywhere. We are well on our way to achieving this audacious goal.”
Apervita recently completed an $18 million Series A funding round, led by GE Ventures and Baird Capital with participation from Pritzker Group Venture Capital, Math Ventures and existing investors, to support its goal of empowering enterprises across the globe to transform health knowledge and data into computable insight, addressing healthcare's most pressing challenges.
