VIEWICS SECURES $10.5 MILLION IN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, CLOSES FUNDING TO BRING ADVANCED ANALYTICS TO HEALTHCARE

Series B round led by Canvas Ventures and Roche Venture Fund to fuel healthcare analytics company’s growth

Viewics, the healthcare-focused analytics company that provides hospitals and health systems with management solutions, today announced it has raised a total of $10.5 million in additional financing led by existing investor Canvas Ventures and new investor Roche Venture Fund, whose portfolio includes 23andMe, Flatiron, and Lumos Pharma. City National Bank also participated. The funds will be used to further expand Viewics’ analytics platform and management solutions, as exemplified by the recent launch of the company’s management solution for chronic kidney disease.

“Hospitals, health systems, and accountable care organizations are under intense pressure to improve patient outcomes while reducing costs,” said Dhiren Bhatia, co-founder and CEO of Viewics. “The value-based market is changing how these organizations track, measure, and report performance. Our customers recognize this shift, and are using Viewics’ solutions to achieve these goals across their organizations and patient populations.”

By combining its easy-to-implement, HIPAA-compliant platform with data-driven management solutions, Viewics provides advanced analytics that help health systems and ACOs realize clinical, operational, and financial benefits within weeks, without placing additional burden on organizations’ information technology resources.

“Viewics’ vision extends well beyond business intelligence software; it’s about driving improvements across healthcare organizations by leveraging laboratory data and providing fast, tangible business value,” said Gary Little, general partner at Canvas Ventures. “Viewics is developing new products and features faster than any of their competitors. Clearly they are well positioned to be the dominant player in the healthcare analytics space.”

Simon Meier, investment director for the Roche Venture Fund, will take a seat on Viewics’ board of directors.

Viewics will use this financing to scale its business and continue to innovate in healthcare management solutions by driving data intelligence and collaboration across healthcare organizations.
