Doctors are increasingly reliant on their smartphones, and they very much want to receive relevant and helpful clinical information there. But pulling data from multiple legacy hospital clinical systems and putting it in a useful format on the small screen is a tough nut to crack.
AirStrip is perhaps the best known mobile platform used by doctors and others in clinical settings. Emergency medical responders, ER doctors, hospital doctors and nurses, clinicians, outpatient caregivers, and skilled nursing facility personnel use the service.
AirStrip has raised a new $25 million funding round led by the Gary and Mary West Health Investment Fund, Sequoia Capital, and Wellcome Trust.
AirStrip says it’ll use the new money to expand into the home health space, market its product overseas, and to accelerate integration with analytics engines.
San Antonio, Texas-based AirStrip has also taken investment money from Dignity Health, St. Joseph Health, The Gary and Mary West Health Investment Fund, and Leerink Partners.
“The success of this investment round shows deep industry support and validation of the AirStrip strategic vision,” AirStrip chief executive Alan Portela said in a statement. “Right now one in six babies born in the U.S. is monitored with AirStrip, and at-risk patients were monitored 1.2 million times in 2013 alone using AirStrip.
