Laguna Health, an AI-powered healthcare startup, has raised $15 million in a Series A funding round led by SemperVirens and HC9 Ventures. The company’s goal is to make it easier for patients to follow their post-hospitalization care plans by identifying any barriers they may face in doing so and modifying the plan to address those issues. Laguna Health analyzes conversations between patients and care managers at insurance companies using AI and natural language processing to determine what might be preventing patients from sticking to their plans. The company’s CEO, Yoni Shtein, believes that reducing the number of medical costs incurred by patients who don’t follow their care plans is crucial, and he intends to achieve this through Laguna Health’s innovations.
Life after hospitalization can be challenging, and it can be difficult for patients to continue their care plans when they experience any conflicting responsibilities or financial limitations, leading to a rise in medical costs over time. Laguna Health’s CEO, Yoni Shtein, has created an AI-powered platform that uses natural language processing to assess conversations between patients and insurance care managers, identifying points of disconnect that might be responsible for patients not following their care plans. Laguna Health aims to modify the plans, making it easier for patients to stay on top of their care and avoid incurring additional medical costs down the line.
