App Association member company AirStrip® just announced a $25 million round of financing for its mobile health services and groundbreaking AirStrip ONE® product. The company already enjoys the financial backing of industry leaders Sequoia Capital, Qualcomm, and HCA.
This latest funding round comes as no surprise to those familiar with the revolutionary impact AirStrip has had on health care delivery. The San Antonio company has achieved critical success in the areas where Health IT offers the greatest potential to improve health care outcomes: interoperability and mobility.
AirStrip’s ONE® connects data from many different sources, bridging gaps that too often restrict patient information to a single healthcare system. Connecting data from different systems allows clinicians to access a more complete patient history and make better informed diagnoses.
But what makes AirStrip truly remarkable is that it can deliver all of this information to mobile devices, anywhere there’s connectivity. Data is shared live so that a healthcare specialist can remotely monitor a patient’s development as it happens.
When this information sharing happens live between the paramedic on an ambulance and the trauma surgeon at the ER, hospitals are better prepared to receive patients for whom every second can make a difference. This remote access of live data is especially helpful in monitoring newborns.
In fact, one out of every six infants born in the U.S. is monitored with AirStrip. And 1.2 million patients with at-risk conditions were monitored last year by medical professionals using AirStrip.
We are just beginning to see the benefits of companies that invested early in connected health solutions. AirStrip’s visionary approach providing live access to patient data across multiple platforms is shaping the future of healthcare by improving outcomes, increasing efficiency, and reducing costs.
