After perusing info on AI startups as compiled by Crunchbase, Forbes senior contributor Louis Columbus has named one “to watch” in 2021 that serves exclusively healthcare.
Austin, Texas-based ClosedLoop.ai makes Columbus’s top 25 on the strength of its platform for streamlining patient experiences while improving healthcare providers’ profitability.
“Their machine learning automation platform and a catalog of pre-built predictive and prescriptive models can be customized and extended based on a healthcare provider’s unique population or client base needs,” he explains. “Examples of their technology applications include predicting admissions/readmissions, predicting total utilization & total risk, reducing out-of-network utilization, avoiding appointment no-shows, predicting chronic disease onset or progression and improving clinical documentation and reimbursement.”
Another startup to catch Columbus’s eye, London-based V7, has a hand in healthcare while also penetrating other industries with its image-recognition offering.
Columbus also breaks out the top 10 cities and regions in the world for attracting AI startup funding over the past year. They are:
- San Francisco
- London
- New York
- Tel Aviv
- Palo Alto
- Toronto
- Boston
- Seattle
